Funk-Free Guarantee Draft Line Monthly Cleaning and Maintenance
Stop Serving Funky Beer.
Clean Lines = More Profit.
Let Us Handle Your Draft System, So You Can Focus On Running Your Business
Beer lines get funky fast—literally. Within just two weeks, bacteria like Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, and Acetobacter can set up shop inside your lines, ruining the flavor of your beer and your customers’ experience. That’s why our bi-weekly or monthly cleaning service is designed to bust the funk before it starts.
Our primary goal at The Funk Busters is simple: ensure that your customers never experience degradation in flavor, aroma, or presentation of the draft beer you serve. A clean, well-maintained draft beer system not only protects your brand’s reputation but also drives profitability. Draft beer remains one of the most profitable beverage categories — if you take care of your system.
Draft beer is a living product that is sensitive to time, temperature, and cleanliness. A neglected system can rapidly develop bacterial and yeast films (biofilms) inside the lines, leading to off-flavors, poor aroma, foaming issues, and ultimately declining draft sales.
Lines need regular cleaning even if you never change your tap lineup or sell a lot of beer.

Why Clean Regularly?
Every dirty draft system tells a story in bad flavors: fake butter (diacetyl), sour milk (lactic acid), vinegar (acetic acid), and cardboard (oxidation). Regular cleaning keeps these microbial villains at bay, ensuring every pint tastes crisp, clean, and exactly how the brewer intended.
Brewers Association studies, supported by a recent study conducted by Draftline Technologies, have proven that simply moving to a two-week cleaning cycle from an extended 4–8 week cycle can raise draft beer dollar sales by 4–7%
Conversely, extending the cleaning cycle to 5–8 weeks produces a measurable decline — with a proven 7% drop in draft beer sales. These results demonstrate that clean beer is not only better for the customer experience — it directly impacts your bottom line.
Draft System Deep Clean
This is a thorough cleaning and assessment of an existing draft system. We will provide recommendations, check and adjust gas pressures, diagnose pouring issues, and anything else you may need us to do regarding pouring draft beer.
Why We're Different
pH Proof Every Line
We photograph neutral pH readings in real-time after every cleaning — zero chemical residue, guaranteed.

Brewers Who Get It
We know draft beer from the inside out.
Pricing
Pricing is based on your specific draft system set up. We take into account the number of lines, their length, special equipment that needs extra cleaning like FOB’s, and the distance from the kegs to the taps. These factors affect what it takes to provide great, effective service.
