Lately we've been second guessing our past cleaning methods for our draft system. we have a 24 tap system that is a 100' long draw set-up with use of beer pumps. we pretty much re-tap beers of similar style after each other, ipa to ipa, hefe to hefe, etc. The majority of beers are sold within a month or two.Some people seem to be tasting off flavors.
What methods and chemicals do you recommend?
Recently we have been directly hooking up hot caustic to the lines (glycol chiller off of course) and letting it soak for at least an hour. Then a 5 Star product Acid Cleaner #5? follows that and soaks. Lastly, peracetic acid is used.
Input?
Thanks this is driving us crazy!
