Line cleaning guide
Beer lines need regular cleaning to remove yeast, residue, and bacteria that can spoil flavour, cause hygiene issues, and lead to poor pours.
Clean lines keep beer tasting as the brewer intended, reduce waste from excess foam, protect dispense equipment, and ensure every pint served meets the pub’s quality standards.
On this page, you'll find a line cleaning guide for both keg and cask lines.
Health & Safety
Before cleaning your lines, please read the below health and safety instructions
Clean all lines at least every 7 days.
Always make a fresh detergent mix.
Never clean lines when customers are present.
