Poupa Chope: cut draft beer waste when changing kegs

Poupa Chope is the device myTapp brought in to boost bar profits even further by cutting draft beer waste. It is a very simple piece of equipment and, at the same time, extremely practical.

Connected to the draft beer line between the keg and the tap, Poupa Chope blocks the line when a keg runs out. This keeps gas from getting into the line, so you can change kegs without wasting beer on purging. It's that simple.

How Poupa Chope works

Poupa Chope is mounted on the wall, very close to the keg. A side opening connects to the keg, a bottom opening connects to the hose that runs to the tap, and inside the transparent tube there is a ball that blocks the beer from flowing to the tap.

When the keg runs out, the ball seals the outlet to the tap, keeping gas from entering the draft beer line. That gas is what causes all the foam that sprays out of the tap right after a keg change, and now you can eliminate it.

With the line blocked, Poupa Chope keeps the beer that is sitting in the hose between the keg and the tap from spilling out when the keg is changed. In other words, when the new keg is connected, the beer that was already in the tap line is the first to come out, so nothing is wasted!

It also has a relief valve that releases the gas that got into the line when the previous keg ran out, so the line can be filled with beer from the new keg again.

As a bonus, because Poupa Chope does not let gas into the draft beer line, it protects myTapp's measuring equipment, resulting in less maintenance and hassle for you and savings on extraction gas.

Less foam, more beer!

Relax, we have no plans to get rid of the head on your customers' glasses, only the nearly 1 liter of draft beer wasted on purging every time a keg is changed!

On top of that, you get a happier customer, because there is no risk of the beer running out just as they are pouring, spraying foam and gas into their glass.

There you go! From now on, purging a keg will only be for marking the opening of an event where you really want to waste the sacred liquid!
