Maintenance Tips
-
Bi-Weekly Cleaning: Clean beer lines, faucets, and keg couplers every 14 days using a brewery-approved caustic solution. Employ a motorized cleaning pump to recirculate the solution for at least 10 minutes. Every third or fourth cleaning, use an acid-based cleaner to remove mineral deposits.
-
Component Soaking: Regularly disassemble the faucet and keg coupler, soak them in cleaning solution, brush all parts clean, and rinse thoroughly with water. Inspect seals and o-rings for wear and replace as needed.
-
Temperature Control: Maintain a consistent beer temperature of 38°F (3°C) to ensure optimal taste and prevent spoilage. Keep the walk-in cooler door closed at all times; if it needs to be open, use clear plastic curtains to prevent cold air loss. Pressure Settings: Use a gas blender (CO₂ & N₂) and ensure the system restriction is balanced properly to the target applied pressure. Aim for 20-25 PSI for blended gas systems.
-
Glycol Maintenance: For glycol-cooled systems, inspect glycol levels monthly. Replace glycol solution every 18 months or annually in high humidity areas. Ensure the glycol power pack is properly sized and located in a well-ventilated area, not inside the walk-in cooler.
-
Routine Inspection: Regularly check for leaks and wear on seals and o-rings. Replace faulty components promptly to maintain system integrity.
