What should you check first if you're experiencing issues with your Draft System?

When experiencing issues with a draft system, the first thing to check is whether the coupler is properly engaged. The coupler is the device that connects the keg to the draft system and is crucial for delivering beer. If it is not engaged correctly, beer cannot flow from the keg to the tap, leading to issues such as no beer flow or excessive foaming. Ensuring the coupler is seated properly allows for a secure connection, preventing any interruptions in the dispensing process.

Other considerations like beer temperature, the type of beer being served, and the cleanliness of the glasses are important but typically follow after confirming that the coupler is engaged. Temperature problems can affect beer quality and carbonation, the type of beer can impact how it pours and behaves, and cleanliness of glasses is essential for serving quality. However, the immediate engagement of the coupler affects the fundamental operation of the draft system, making it the top priority to check.
