Interview with Jon Taffer of Bar Rescue - Kate Bernot from Draftmag.com What are the hallmarks of a good beer bar? In a good beer bar, it’s all about Quality . And it’s so easy. It takes three things: the Right Temperature, Pressure and CLEAN LINES . It’s frustrating to me how many bars can’t accomplish those three things. - Jon Taffer Draft System Cleaning | New Glarus Brewing Co. | Ben Geisthardt
Re Reci circulation rculation Cl Cleanin eaning An AB Study entitled Ensuring Draught Beer Quality concluded the following… “A beer line cleaner’s effectiveness, in part, is contingent upon a rapid, turbulent solution flow of at least 10 minutes for optimum removal of biological residue. The effectiveness of a turbulent flow of beer line cleaning solution is eighty times greater that a static, beer line “soaking.” *Anheuser-Busch Study – 1991 Edition Draft System Cleaning | New Glarus Brewing Co. | Ben Geisthardt

Initial Check… (Goes along with initial prep) • Inspect flow direction (Make sure it is going the correct way) • Alternate the Cleanings flow (direction) bi-weekly • Work pump up to a set point of 40-45psi • Ideal chemical flow should be 2x the beer flow at 2gal./min. • This may not be obtainable for all systems. • Check for leaks around the tower and inside the cooler • Inside the cooler you will want to fill F.O.B. ’s if they are utilized Draft System Cleaning | New Glarus Brewing Co. | Ben Geisthardt
