Cleaning and Maintaining the Clean Beer Lines and Draft System

It is important for bar and restaurant owners to prioritize beer line cleaning to serve great-tasting beer and keep customers happy. This includes using proper cleaning chemicals and a specific cleaning solution to ensure hygiene and quality. Regularly cleaning the lines, taps, and faucets, as well as changing the keg seals and gaskets on a regular basis, is essential. It is also important to properly store the kegs in order and at the right dispensing temperature of 38 degrees.

Here’s a Draft Beer System Solutions Repair Checklist

Check Glycol on Remote Draft Beer Lines Systems

Remote systems that use glycol should be checked regularly to ensure that the glycol levels are correct. This can be done by checking the sight glass on the glycol tank or by using a glycol refractometer. If the glycol levels are not correct, the system may not be able to properly cool the beer and could lead to poor taste and customer dissatisfaction.

Check All Gas Fittings are secure in the Walk-In Cooler

It is important for bar and restaurant owners to check all gas fittings in their walk-in coolers to ensure that they are secure. This includes checking the fittings on the beer lines, and CO2 tanks. If any of the fittings are loose, it could lead to a loss of CO2 or beer, which could result in poor taste and customer dissatisfaction. Also, make sure the right pressure is applied to the beer system whether it's a Direct Draw System or a Remote System. Lastly, checking that the proper blend is being used is critical for maintaining equilibrium and maximizing keg yield.

Verify Temperature of 38 Degrees In the Walk-In

It is important for bar and restaurant owners to verify that the temperature in their walk-in cooler is at 38 degrees in order to properly store their kegs. This can be done by checking the thermostat or using a thermometer to measure the temperature. If the temperature is not correct, it could lead to losses compounded over time. Another Hack to check cooler temperature is to leave a glass of water in the cooler for 24hrs and check the temperature of it often.

The Importance of Clean Beer Lines

Clean beer lines are the backbone of any successful draft beer system. When beer lines are not properly maintained, the quality and taste of your draft beer can suffer significantly. Dirty beer lines can lead to a flat, acidic, and unpleasant taste, which can turn customers away. Additionally, dirty beer lines can harbor bacteria, posing health risks to your patrons, such as diarrhea, headaches, and nausea.

Regular cleaning of beer lines is essential to prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. This ensures that every pint of draught beer served is fresh and delicious. Utilizing a direct draw beer system, where kegs are positioned directly beneath the beer taps, can also help minimize the risk of dirty beer lines. By prioritizing clean beer lines, you not only enhance the taste of your draft beer but also safeguard the health of your customers, ensuring they have a positive experience every time they visit.

Signs of Contamination

Recognizing the signs of contamination in your beer lines is crucial for maintaining the quality of your draft beer. Here are some key indicators that your beer lines may be contaminated:

• Off-flavors and aromas: If your beer tastes stale or sour, it’s a clear sign that your beer lines are dirty.
• Cloudy lines: Cloudy beer lines, moldy faucets, and mold on under-bar couplers are all red flags indicating dirty beer lines.
• Diacetyl: A buttery or fatty, slippery feeling in the mouth suggests the presence of diacetyl, a compound that can develop in dirty beer lines.
• Bacteria and mold: The presence of bacteria, mold, and old beer floating in the beer is a sure sign of contamination.
• Beer stone: Beer stone is a deposit that forms when calcium and oxalic acids or salts combine at cold temperatures. If not properly cleaned, beer stone can build up and flake off inside the beer tubing, contaminating the beer.

By regularly inspecting and cleaning your beer lines, you can prevent these issues and ensure that your customers enjoy a consistently high-quality draft beer experience.

Draft beer service is important to bars and restaurants because it is a major profit center, and maintaining clean draft beer lines is essential for ensuring quality. Clean draft lines are crucial for preserving the taste and safety of the beer served.

Proper draft beer service includes maintaining and cleaning the draft system to avoid a dirty beer line, rotating kegs, and properly pouring each glass to ensure maximum taste and satisfaction for the customer. Dirty draft lines can lead to contamination and off-flavors, and dirty draft lines ruin the overall drinking experience.
