Beer, Cocktail & Wine Lines Cleaning Program

At The Beer Doctor, we firmly believe cleaning your beer, cocktail, and wine lines every 14 days is essential for optimal equipment performance, superior taste, and heightened customer satisfaction.

The tangible expense of forsaking routine line cleaning transcends the monetary investment; it erodes sales, customer loyalty, and overall goodwill.  The actual cost of neglecting line maintenance is not merely the expense of cleaning; it's the erosion of profitability, customer trust, and the vitality of the experience.

1 

Line Cleaning:  Minimum Every Two Weeks (14 days):

  • Clearly posted documentation of line cleaning and servicing records is recommended in all keg coolers.

  • Push beer from the lines with warm water.

  • Clean lines with 2% caustic solution for routine cleaning of well-maintained lines, or with 3% caustic solution for older or more problematic lines. 

  • Using an electric pump, a caustic solution will be circulated through the lines for a minimum of 15 minutes at a steady flow rate that ideally exceeds the flow rate of the beer.

  • Disassemble, service, and hand-clean faucets; hand-clean couplers.

  •  After cleaning, flush lines with cool fresh water until pH matches that of your tap water and no visible debris is carried from the beer lines.

2

Acid Cleaning:  Every Quarter (Three Months):

  • Acid cleanings should be in addition to caustic cleanings, not as a replacement.

  • Push beer or caustic cleaner from lines with warm water.

  • Clean lines with acid line cleaner.

  • Circulate the acid solution through the lines for 15 minutes at a steady flow rate that ideally exceeds the flow rate of the beer. After acid cleaning, flush lines with cool fresh water until the pH matches that of your tap water and no visible debris is carried from the lines.

3

Hardware Cleaning:  Every Quarter (Three Months):

  • Disassemble, service, and hand-clean all FOB devices (a.k.a. beer savers, foam detectors).

  • Disassemble, service, and hand-clean all couplers.
