Jägermeister - The Big Chill Warms
Once a shot of Jägermeister is dispensed into a glass or other container, IT BEGINS TO WARM
UP IMMEDIATELY. Depending on the temperature of the glass and the room, Jägermeister can
warm up 20º F within seconds.
Keep This In Mind
Each person's perception of "Colder-Than-Ice" Jägermeister is extremely subjective and can only
be verified by proper temperature testing of the Jägermeister as it is dispensed from the Tap
Machine. Most individuals have a difficult time detecting the difference in liquid temperatures
between 0º F and 30º F. They know it's cold, but not how cold. The JEM Jägermeister Tap
Machine® is factory set to dispense Jägermeister at the optimum temperature for enjoyment - 0º F
(-18º C). There are no User temperature adjustments. The temperature is factory set and not
adjustable.
Properly Test The Temperature
A simple procedure to test the dispensing temperature can be performed to verify that the
temperature. Simply relying on a person's perception that the machine is not cold enough is not
an accurate method to determine actual and accurate dispensing temperatures.
Tools you WILL need to test PROPERLY
1. A quick responding digital, liquid proof thermometer. Non-digital thermometers
respond too slowly.
2. Pre-chilled COLD glass (Pre-chill it in the freezer) - Must be able to hold at least 4
ounces. Similar to the glass below.

If you suspect the Jägermeister Tap Machine® is not cooling properly, First CLEAN THE FILTER
AT THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE. Your JEM Jägermeister Tap Machine® will not chill properly
with a dirty filter. Before performing any temperature testing, remove and clean the filter. After
you clean the filter, you must wait at least 30 minutes before performing any further temperature
testing. Then measure the temperature of the Jägermeister as follows:
1. Using a chilled glass (or insulated container), dispense 3 to 4 ounces and immediately
place the thermometer in the Jägermeister, holding it such that the probe is suspended in
the middle of the liquid, and not in contact with the sides or bottom of the container. (If
the thermometer is allowed to touch the sides or bottom, the results will not be accurate
and could be off as much as 20º F )
2. Wait a few seconds for the thermometer to reach temperature. This temperature
represents the coldest the machine will get, and should be at or below 5º F. If the
temperature is not below 5ºF call the Tap Machine Inc. service line.
