Maintenance Tips
-
Line Cleaning: Clean beverage lines every 14 days using a brewery-approved alkaline solution. Incorporate an acid-based cleaner every third or fourth cleaning to remove mineral deposits.
-
Faucet and Coupler Maintenance: Disassemble and clean faucets and keg couplers during each cleaning session to prevent buildup of yeast, mold, and bacteria. Rinse thoroughly with water before reassembling.
-
Gas Pressure: Maintain CO₂ or blended gas pressure between 20–25 PSI, adjusting as necessary based on beverage type and system requirements.
-
Temperature Control: Keep the beverage temperature consistently at 38°F (3.3°C) to preserve flavor and carbonation.
-
Glycol System Maintenance: Service the glycol power pack annually, replacing the glycol mixture as needed. Ensure the glycol cooler is properly sized and located in a well-ventilated area, not inside the walk-in cooler.
-
Seal Inspection: Regularly inspect all seals and O-rings for wear or damage. Replace any compromised components to prevent leaks and maintain system integrity.
-
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down stainless steel surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth to maintain appearance and hygiene.
-
Professional Servicing: Schedule annual maintenance checks with certified technicians to ensure system longevity and performance.
