How often should you clean your Kegerator lines?
At a minimum you should clean your tap lines once every 4-6 weeks. Our recommendation is to clean and sanitize your beer or wine tap lines between each keg you serve on your draft system to make life easier.
Do I need to clean new Kegerator lines?
You probably want to just clean them in between each new keg to ensure they will flow properly. Make sure to get a beer line cleaning kit, if you don’t already have one, and clean and sanitize your beer lines on a regular basis. Christian Lavender is the CKO (Chief Kegerator Officer) for Kegerators.com in Austin, TX.
Do you turn off CO2 Kegerator?
This is a common question we get. To be on the safe side, we always recommend shutting off the CO2 when you do not have a keg hooked up. Technically speaking, the components of a kegerator will not allow CO2 passed the coupler when it is not hooked to a keg.
Can you leave water in beer lines?
Do not leave water in beer lines, empty keg lines by blowing and pulling water through until just air remains or fill lines with a protector. All couplers should be sanitised and attached to ring main sockets. Remove hop filters from cask lines and hang the lines off the floor.
Can you use baking soda to clean beer lines?
How do they clean draft lines? They should be using a commercial-grade cleaning solution that is only sold to professionals. Bleach, baking soda, vinegar, or anything that you can buy won’t cut it.
Is it bad to leave a keg tapped?
A good rule of thumb is that the shelf life for a keg of pasteurized beer is about 90-120 days (or 3-4 months), and unpasteurized draft beer will last about 45-60 days (or 6-8 weeks) when stored at the proper temperature. If the beer in your keg is passed its expiration date, then we wouldn’t recommend drinking it.
How long will a keg last once tapped?
How Long Does a Keg Stay Fresh? For most beers on tap, dispensed with CO2, the rule of thumb is that non-pasteurized beer will retain its freshness for 45-60 days, if proper pressure and temperature are maintained. If you are serving up pasteurized draft beer, the shelf life is around 90-120 days.
Should CO2 tank be inside kegerator?
5. Should my CO2 tank be inside or outside of the Kegerator? Although it doesn’t make a significant difference either way, most CO2 tanks are mounted outside of the refrigeration compartment. This allows for a better use of space inside the refrigerator to fit kegs.
