How to Use Beer Line Cleaning Solution

One important thing you always have to keep in mind is that beer line cleaning should be done regularly. Of course, the actual frequency depends on the amount of beer that flows through your system within a specified period of time but our rule of thumb is doing the cleaning beer lines whenever you change the kegs.

As for the cleaning process and how beer line cleaning solution should be used in it, here are the basic steps you need to go through:

1. Get a draft beer line cleaning kit ready - whether it’s a manual hand pump kit or an automatic pressurized kit, make sure all the elements (plastic container, beer lines, couplers, buckets) and tools (wrench, beer line cleaning brush) are in place and ready for the cleaning action
2. Take out a bottle of your beer cleaning liquid and prepare the solution by mixing the solution with water in a plastic container (use 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the solution per 1 quart of clean water) - this is going to be used for the beer line cleaning and for letting your faucet(s) soak in the solution while you’re doing the beer line cleaning
3. Remove the faucet and connect the cleaning line to it. Then, disconnect the beer lines from the keg(s) and put the open end(s) into a bucket. Important note: make sure the CO2 tank regulator is shut off before disconnecting any beer lines
4. Circulate the solution within the system using the hand pump. Repeat the procedure a few times by pouring the contents of the bucket back into the beer line cleaning bottle
5. Take out the faucet and empty the bucket. Then, fill the bottle with clean water and repeat the circulation procedure - this time, to rinse off the remains of the cleaning solution
6. Additionally, you can clean the insides of the faucet (including grooves) using a faucet brush. Don’t forget to rinse them with clean water after you’re finished
7. Put all the elements back together - your system is ready for pouring fresh beer!
