Why should dispensing lines be cleaned?
Your lines should be cleaned on a regular basis because a scale called calcium oxalate, commonly referred to as 'beerstone' forms on the fittings, lines and taps.
'Beerstone', if not completely removed in a cleaning process will leave an unsanitary surface that can harbour microorganisms.
Line cleaning, with the proper equipment and chemical, eliminates the build-up of 'Beerstone' protecting the integrity of the product.
Microorganisms or bacteria will grow very quickly if a sanitary environment is not maintained. This can cause 'off flavours' or shorten the shelf life of beer.
Regular line cleaning assures that bacteria does not have the opportunity to reach levels which affect the quality or taste of the beer.
Line cleaning should be done on a regularly scheduled basis.
Frequency depends on the type of dispensing system that you have.
