Better quality of foam
The intensive CO2 mixing during carbonation causes the formation, during tapping,
of a more consistent, more compact head of foam than with normal keg beer.
A good head of foam is of benefit to all (brewery, landlord, consumer), as
it is the mark of a good-quality beer.
Always the same concentration
of CO2
With Bag-In-Box the beer from the tap always has the same CO2 concentration, as it does not previously undergo carbonation
or CO2 bonding.
Longer tapping time
There is a problem of carbonation with normal keg beer. The longer
the keg is tapped, the more the beer is aerated with CO2. After
a few days this leads to problems with bar dispense. Whilst
aeration can be prevented by the use of mixed gas (Biogon),
the beer then becomes flat as CO2 leaks away. Bag-In-Box beer
is only aerated with carbon dioxide on its way to the tap,
so it does not matter how long it stays in the bag. For the
landlord this means longer tap time and consistent quality.
Better biology
As a barrel is pressure emptied with CO2, there is always some
transfer, from the CO2 line into the barrel, of bacteria and germs
that spoil the beer. This represents an additional problem to carbonation.
This problem does not exist with Bag-In-Box beer. So, another quality
benefit..
