Draft Beer & Wine System Maintenance

Proper maintenance and cleaning of draft lines and equipment is very important, yet often overlooked. A properly installed, properly maintained and regularly cleaned draft system will consistently dish out perfectly chilled, smooth, tasty beverages – every damn time. On the other hand, a system that is not properly maintained and regularly cleaned can churn out some drinks that are downright gross.

Cleaning

Here’s the good news: we offer affordable routine cleaning services to restaurants, bars, breweries and more. We typically recommend cleaning draft beer lines every 2 weeks, and draft systems for coffee, kombucha and wine once a month.

Without getting too technical on you, our basic cleaning process involves using a mechanical recirculating pump to flush non-toxic cleaning products through tap lines. This helps to remove unwanted proteins, bacteria, biofilms, mineral crystals, hop resins and other gunk from the draft lines. We then flush the lines thoroughly with clean water and reassemble the draft system. We follow American Homebrewers Association specifications to ensure a consistent, safe and thorough cleaning process.

We offer draft cleaning services for all beverages, serving the Southwestern Colorado area including Durango, Grand Junction, Ouray and beyond. Typically we will set up a routine maintenance plan with customers. Once the plan is set up, it’s all hands-off for you. Let us do the dirty work, and you can stick to what you do best – running your business, and serving the best frosty beverages in the region!
