WHY DO DRAFT LINES NEED CLEANING?

When undertaken using proper solutions and procedures, line cleaning prevents the buildup of organic material and mineral deposits while eliminating flavor-changing microbes. Thus, a well-designed and diligently executed maintenance plan ensures trouble-free draught system operation and fresh, flavorful beer.

In addition to alcohol and carbon dioxide, finished beer contains proteins, carbohydrates, and hundreds of other organic compounds. Yeast and bacteria routinely enter draught systems, where they feed on beer and attach to draught lines. Minerals also precipitate from beer, leaving deposits in lines and fixtures.

Within days of installing a brand-new draft system, biofilm deposits begin to build upon the surfaces that come into contact with beer. Without proper cleaning, these deposits soon affect flavor and undermine the system’s ability to dispense quality beer.
