HOW TO OPERATE

FILLING THE GROWLER

1. Follow the directions under CLEANING & MAINTENANCE to

thoroughly clean your growler before lling.

2. Your growler can be lled at your favorite local craft brewery, or with your own homebrew.

3. When lling from a tap, we recommend using a down tube to ll the growler from the

bottom up. This will reduce foaming and minimizes contact between the beer and oxygen.

4. Fill the growler until the beer reaches the "64 OZ" ll line marked on the outside of the

growler.

NOTE: There may be some foam on top of the beer, and this is okay.

DISPENSING FROM THE GROWLER

1. Ensure the Pressure Dial is turned to the OFF position by

turning the dial all the way counter-clockwise.

2. Quickly and smoothly screw the threaded end of the CO2 Cartridge into the Regulator.

NOTE: When the CO2 Cartridge has been pierced, you should hear a short burst of CO2

escape from the cartridge.
