WHY STAINLESS STEEL?
MEET OUR KEGS
WINE QUALITY Only stainless steel kegs are impermeable to oxygen and stay fresh up to 18 months untapped & 3 months once tapped.
STANDARD SIZE + PARTS Our sixth barrel kegs fit into all draft systems.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS Reusable steel kegs save millions of pounds of trash from landfills every year. Compared to disposable plastic kegs, steel kegs reduce the carbon footprint 30-50% & up to 96% better than wine in bottles.

Free Flow Wines is a kegging & logistics company. We facilitate connections between winery clients, distributors, sales reps & draft system installers to make wine on tap easy for you.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
COMMON WINE DRAFT SYSTEM INSTALLATIONS
Kegs are located in refrigerated units beneath taps. Perfect for restaurants and bars that have space at, or very near, the point of dispense. The short draw maximizes loss and ensures best serving temperature.
LONG DRAW WINE SYSTEM
Kegs are located away from taps (usually in a walk-in cooler) and temperature controlled lines carry the wine from kegs to taps. The long draw system ensures the wine arrives at the point of dispense at the correct temperature and is protected along the way. Long draw systems vary widely based on installation complexity, time and cost.
An existing direct draw system retrofit requires:
1. Wine-certified Hardware. NO BEER PARTS! Any metal that touches wine needs an upgrade to 304 grade stainless steel (this includes your tower, faucets and couplers)
2. Wine Grade Tubing to prevent oxygen leaks, flavor transfer and off tastes. Lines and hardware need to be cleaned quarterly, or when a keg is changed or replaced.
3. A blend of 75% Nitrogen and 25% CO2 (AKA Guinness Gas or BevGas) should be used. For direct draw, a pressure setting of 4-7 PSI is all that’s needed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure couplers are properly attached to kegs, handles pushed down & locked
Are you out of wine? Might be time to change your keg...
Confirm gas is turned on (see large valve at top of gas tank)Check that the red valve on gas is open (not perpendicular to gas line)
Check the reading on left gauge of the regulator (attached to the gas tank behind the red wine)
If it’s less than 300 psi, change the gas tank (see “Adjustments”)
ADJUSTMENTS
Here’s how to adjust your wine flow:
Locate the regulator (attached to the gas).
Using a flat head screw driver, twist the screw to the rightto increase flow; twist left to decrease flow.
If the left gauge of the regulator reads less than 300 psi, It’s time to change the gas. Here’s how:
Turn off the gas by closing screw valve at the top of the tank.
Unscrew the brass nut connecting the regulator to the tank
Pull old tank out & replace with a new one.
Screw in the regulator and then turn on the tank.
FLOW OF WINE
REPLACING GAS
FOLLOW THESE STEPS, THEN TEST FOR SUCCESS
A regulator adjusts and controls the flow of gas from any source. Each regulator typically has at
least one and often two pressure gauges that help in setting pressures and monitoring gas levels: one
high-pressure gauge showing the tank or supply pressure, and a second low-pressure gauge showing
what is being delivered to the keg.

Wine coming out too fast or too slow?
Check upper gauge (0-60 psi).
