What is one method to address a kinked beer line?

Replacing the beer line is the most effective way to address a kinked beer line. When a beer line is kinked, it obstructs the flow of beer, which can lead to issues such as increased pressure, foaming, or even a complete blockage. By replacing the damaged section or the entire line, you ensure that the flow is unobstructed, allowing for a consistent and optimal pour.

Other methods, while they might address symptoms temporarily, do not solve the underlying issue of the kink. For instance, allowing the beer to warm up does not address the flow problem; it might only alter beer characteristics temporarily. Adding more CO2 to the keg can help manage foaming but does not fix the pressure issues caused by the kink itself. Increasing glycol flow might assist with cooling but does not rectify the mechanical obstruction. Hence, replacing the beer line directly targets the problem, ensuring better performance of the draft system.
