Keeping beer lines clean is essential for several reasons:
1. Taste and Quality: Dirty beer lines can harbor bacteria, yeast, and mold, which can significantly alter the taste of the beer. This can lead to off-flavors, such as sourness, bitterness, or an unpleasant metallic taste, ruining the intended flavor profile.
2. Safety: A buildup of bacteria or mold in beer lines can pose health risks to consumers. Regular cleaning helps ensure that the beer served is safe to drink.
3. Foam and Carbonation: Dirty lines can affect the beer's carbonation levels, resulting in excessive foaming or flat beer. Clean lines help maintain the correct balance of carbonation, ensuring the beer pours with the right head.
4. Appearance: Beer served through dirty lines can appear cloudy or have visible particles, which is unappealing to customers.
5. Equipment Longevity: Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup that can cause wear and tear on the dispensing equipment, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.
6. Reputation: Serving beer through clean lines demonstrates attention to quality and hygiene, which is crucial for maintaining a good reputation among customers who expect a consistently good beer experience.
Tap Cleaning
Bi-weekly Cleaning - $12/tap
$72 minimum
Beer lines are first flushed with clean water to remove any beer currently in the lines.
Beer lines are flushed with a alkaline/caustic solution for a minimum of 15 minutes with a recirculation pump.
All faucets, shanks and keg couplers are scrubbed with alkaline/caustic solution.
Every 3 months, in addition to normal cleaning, we will also flush the beer lines with an acidic cleaning solution.
Once the cleaning is complete, the lines will again be flushed with clean water to make sure no cleaning solution remains in the lines. Verified via pH test strip.
Finally, the system will be put back together and tested for leaks.
Each line will be then purged of all remaining water to make sure you get nothing but beer on the first pour!
