Reminder: Time to Clean Beer Lines + Limited Time DEAL
About this time every month we post a reminder to clean beer lines. This helps if you clean monthly or everything other month.
Clean kegerator lines are a key part of serving delicious beer. Bacteria and mineral build in lines can cause off flavors, quick loss of head, under-carbonated beer due to rapid co2 loss and lack of legs forming on the inside of your beer glass.
Limited Time Deal on Ball Lock Cleaning Jumpers:
Helps you clean multiple lines at the same time…
Valuebrew is offering a pack of two jumpers and 25 replacement o-rings for $32.97. Coupon code JUMP discounts the combo by a whopping 32%.
Double Jumper Special! < note that you must use this link along with coupon code JUMP to get the deal, the standard product will not get you the discount
Valuebrew’s jumper is unique because of the custom color, food grade o-rings and because … it works with both liquid and ball lock jumpers.
How Often Should You Clean Lines?
The Draught Quality Beer Manual says… every two weeks.
That recommendation is for a commercial operation. What about homebrewers? We serve far fewer beer on our kegerators, but on the other hand, we can have been on tap and in lines 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Considering all of this, my recommendation is every 1 to 2 months.
