F.A.Q

• How many pints are in a PerfectDraft keg?
  There are 10 pints in a PerfectDraft keg.
• How long does a PerfectDraft keg last?
  The PerfectDraft machine keeps PerfectDraft kegs fresh at 3°C in the machine for 30 days.
• Can you refill PerfectDraft kegs?
  We do that for you with our fantastic recycling scheme! It's free and we credit your account with £5 worth of beer tokens per keg.
• How do you chill a keg quickly?
  When you receive your kegs, if you have space in the fridge, put your kegs in the fridge and they'll pre-chilled and ready to go! If you do not have space in the fridge, store your kegs in a cool dry place and that will help them to chill quicker once in the machine.
• Is the beer sub worth it?
  The PerfectDraft machine has many benefits over the Sub; the main benefit being that beer comes in 6L kegs meaning that you will have to change kegs less often. Couple that with our free recycling scheme which nets you £5 worth of beer tokens per keg to go towards your next order and you'll be wondering why you didn't go for the PerfectDraft Machine earlier!

• Do you have to return empty kegs?
  Yes! Each empty keg you return back to us is worth £5 which we will credit to your Beer Hawk account in beer tokens. Beer tokens can be used against all future orders. What's more, our returns system is easy and free to use!
• Is it bad to let a keg warm up?
  All beer is sensitive to repeated temperature change and should be avoided where possible. Your beer will be fine but always try and store kegs in a cool, dry place until you are ready to put them in the machine.
• How long does it take to chill a keg?
  From warm a keg will take 8-12 hours to chill down to the perfect 3 degrees. The cooler a keg is before it goes into the machine, the quicker it will cool to the perfect temperature. A good rule of thumb is around a degree of cooling per hour. If you don't want to wait, we recommend pre-chilling your kegs, either in the fridge or in the coolest place you can find in your home.
• Can you get money for empty kegs?
  Yes! In the form of beer tokens which are added to your Beer Hawk account.
• How much money do you get for returning kegs?
  You get £5 worth of beer tokens added to your account which can used on future orders.
