What is a Beer Foam Preventer (FOB - Beer-On-Foam)?

A beer foam controller FOB (Foam-On-Beer) is a device that helps to regulate the flow of beer from a keg and prevent excess foam from forming. It works by utilizing a small plastic float ball inside a vertical chamber.

As the beer is dispensed, the float ball inside the FOB rises along with the beer level. Once the beer level inside the FOB reaches a certain height, the float ball is lifted by the incoming beer and seals a vent hole at the top of the chamber, causing the flow of beer to stop. This prevents any excess foam or gas from being dispensed and ensures that only liquid beer is poured.

When the beer level inside the FOB drops due to dispensing, the float ball drops with it, reopening the vent hole at the top of the chamber and allowing beer to flow again. This cycle repeats as beer is dispensed, helping to maintain a consistent flow rate and minimizing foam formation.

The FOB can be installed in-line between the keg and the tap, or between the keg and the CO2 regulator, depending on the specific system being used.
