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

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

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

Mul Multi ti-tasking…

Draft System Cleaning | New Glarus Brewing Co. | Ben Geisthardt

• The Hotter the Water = The Cleaner the line?
• Higher the Pressure = The better the clean?

Li Line ne Cl Cleaning eaning My Myths! ths!

➢ Can cause lines to delaminate and break down. ➢ Can also cause lines to expand / Burst. ➢ This can cause lines to expand and create bacterial growth points ➢ This can also cause lines to burst.

So Soni nic c Cleane eaners rs –

The Brewers Associations stance on Sonic Cleaners is this…

“Devices that purport to electrically or sonically clean

draught lines are not a suitable substitute for chemical line cleaning. Although some sonic cleaners may inhibit bacteria and yeast growth, they have little to no cleaning effect on draught system hardware and fittings.” “A maximum two-week chemical line cleaning cycle is recommended on all draught systems regardless of the use of a Sonic Cleaner.”

“Mechanical cleaning” is the scrubbing of the inside of a beer line with the use of a small sponge.

• Use extreme caution when using this method.
• Couplers and F.O.B.’s must be Rem
