Frequently asked questions

The Brewers Association's Draught Beer Quality Manual recommends cleaning draught lines at least every two weeks. Many businesses run on a biweekly or monthly program depending on volume and system. We can help you choose a schedule that fits.

A line cleaning runs cleaning solution through the lines and includes taking apart and cleaning the faucets. Couplers are checked for leaks and worn seals. A flush pushes clean water through the lines to clear out old beer and loose residue. Flushes are often scheduled between full cleanings.

Routine maintenance can include line flushes, checks of faucets, couplers, and connections, a look at how each tap is pouring, and notes on parts that are wearing out, so small problems get handled before they cause downtime.

Your account is set on a biweekly or monthly schedule and visits happen on that schedule without you having to call. Programs can mix full cleanings and flushes, and multiple locations can be set up on one program.

Lines being cleaned are out of service during the visit. Service is scheduled around your hours so it stays out of the way of your busy times.

Foamy pours can come from dirty lines, worn faucet or coupler parts, temperature, or pressure that's set wrong or drifting. Describe what's happening in a service request and we'll start troubleshooting from there.

Flat or slow pours often point to a pressure or gas supply problem, such as a regulator issue, a leak, or a low gas supply, but can also be caused by restrictions in the line. Regulator and pressure troubleshooting is one of our services.

Yes. Dripping faucets and sticky handles usually come from buildup or worn seals. Faucets are taken apart and cleaned, and couplers are inspected, with worn seals or parts replaced.
