A FOB (foam-on-beer) detector is an inline device that sits between the keg and the tap and shuts the beer line the instant the keg runs dry and foam reaches the sensor. That single job saves a bar real money: instead of flushing the line with foam every time a keg blows, the detector holds beer in the line, so the changeover costs a splash rather than a full re-pour.

  • Stainless steel body that wipes down easily and stands up to daily service.
  • Compact housing designed to open up for thorough cleaning between kegs.
  • Cuts foamy pours and keg-change waste, protecting yield and margin.

It suits craft taprooms, brewpubs and any venue running keg lines where beer loss at changeover adds up over a busy week.

For a home brewer running a kegerator or a home bar, a FOB detector ends the messy foam burst when a keg kicks. The stainless build cleans up quickly between batches, and stopping the line at the first sign of foam means you pour clean glasses and waste less of what you worked to brew.

Frequently asked questions

What does a FOB detector do on a beer line?

It sits inline between the keg and tap and closes the line the moment the keg runs dry and foam reaches the sensor. That keeps beer in the line, so a keg change costs a splash instead of a full foamy re-pour.

How does a FOB detector save money at keg changes?

By stopping the flow as soon as foam is detected, it prevents a whole line of beer from being flushed and wasted every time a keg blows. Over a busy week that reduces pour cost and beer loss noticeably.

Is this FOB detector easy to clean between kegs?

Yes. The stainless steel body wipes down easily, and the compact housing is designed to open up for thorough cleaning, which keeps each keg's flavor clean.

Can I use this FOB detector on a home kegerator?

Yes. It plumbs into a standard beer line and works on home kegerator setups as well as commercial keg lines, giving cleaner pours and less waste when a keg kicks.

What material is the FOB detector made from?

The detector is made of stainless steel, chosen for sanitation and durability under daily use.

Is shipping included in the price?

For in-stock items — anything you can add to the cart — shipping is included in the listed price. For made-to-order items, delivery is either free (marked on the product page) or calculated when you place your order, based on destination and volume.

How long does delivery take?

In-stock items typically arrive within one to three weeks. Made-to-order items take three to six weeks, since we work directly with manufacturers and need time for production and logistics before shipping. Your assigned manager confirms a more precise estimate once your order is placed. Please note we can't be responsible for delays caused by customs clearance in the destination country.

Are import duties and taxes included?

In most cases, yes — we aim to ship Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), which means duties and import taxes are handled so you don't face extra charges on delivery. In rare cases we may ship Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), where you would settle import charges directly with the carrier — but only when agreed with you in advance.

Do your products come with a warranty?

Yes. Most of our equipment comes with a one-to-two-year manufacturer's warranty covering factory defects and technical faults under normal use; the specific term is stated on each product page. If a defect appears, we arrange a replacement or refund in line with our Exchange & Return Policy, and our team guides you through the claim step by step.
