F.-143.degree. F. and then cools the beer to 70.degree. F.-85.degree. F. The spray nozzles are positioned on staggered centers having 9-12' longitudinal spacing and 6' transverse spacing with 3' spacing from side walls and the nozzle bore is 3/8'. The nozzle pressure is about 5 psig to 6 psig and the spray nozzles are the type which are the least likely to become clogged.
