How to Use Tap Tech’s Beer Line Cleaning Kit: A Step-by-Step Guide

Keeping your beer lines clean is critical to maintaining the quality and taste of your beer. However, the process can be tedious and time-consuming without the right tools. That’s why Tap Tech offers an innovative self-service beer line cleaning kit that simplifies the process and ensures your beer lines remain spotless. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through how to effectively use Tap Tech’s beer line cleaning kit to keep your system running smoothly and your beer tasting fresh.

Step 1: Set Up the Cleaning Keg

The first step in cleaning your beer lines is preparing the cleaning keg. Tap Tech’s cleaning keg is designed to clean 2 beer lines at once, using our no-rinse beer line cleaning solution.

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Fill the stainless steel cleaning keg with warm water.
  2. Add the recommended amount of Tap Tech’s no-rinse cleaning powder into the keg. Stir gently to dissolve the powder.

Step 2: Connect the Cleaning Keg to Beer Lines

Once your cleaning solution is ready, it’s time to connect the cleaning keg to the beer lines:

  1. Disconnect the regular beer keg from the beer lines.
  2. Attach the cleaning keg to the same couplers you just disconnected from the beer keg.
  3. Place included the bucket under the beer tap to catch the solution.
  4. Open the beer taps to start pushing the cleaning solution through the lines.
  5. Allow the cleaning solution to circulate through the beer lines.

Step 3: Rinse and Flush the Beer Lines

Although Tap Tech’s solution is no-rinse, it’s still a good idea to give your lines a final rinse with water to ensure that any residue is cleared out:

  1. After the cleaning cycle, disconnect the cleaning keg from the couplers and refill with warm water
  2. Reconnect the cleaning keg.
  3. Open the taps again to push the water through the lines, flushing out any remaining solution.

Step 4: Reconnect Your Beer Kegs

After your lines are cleaned and flushed, you’re ready to reconnect your beer kegs:

  1. Reattach the beer kegs to their respective couplers.
  2. Open the beer taps to pour the first bit of beer through, discarding the initial pour as it may contain water.
  3. Your beer lines are now clean, and you’re ready to start serving great-tasting beer again!
  4. Repeat the process every 2 weeks.
