Hello all,
I have been experiencing an issue with our growlers going flat at an alarming rate, and want to know if anyone else has had a similar problem.
A little background on me: I have been a commercial brewer for almost a decade, and have been in the industry as a whole for about 15 years. I have worked in every position/ at every level of the beer business from merchandising to designing a brewery. I have worked in over a dozen places that sell/ fill growlers, but I cannot figure out what is going on with the system at my current place of employ.
We have a FOB draft system, first place I've ever worked that has one, and I feel like it might be the cause of the beer going flat in the growlers. When I say it goes flat quickly, I mean in less than two hours. As such, we have a good amount of growlers being sold here, but nearly zero people return to have them re-filled. I have tried every method of filling a growler, even the absolutely wrong way of just filling it from the faucet directly, nothing makes any measurable difference.
I will happily supply any additional information to anyone that might be able to help me sort this out. Please reply if you have thoughts on the subject.
