RECOMMENDED USAGE

Use as directed. Draftec Beer Line Cleaner will clean extremely soiled draft beer line. Draftec is formulated to remove stubborn bio-film deposits. As recommended by the Brewers Association (BA) draught beer quality manual:

For normal conditions/well maintained lines, use 7 oz. per gallon of water (2% Caustic). For stubborn/neglected lines, use 11 oz. per gallon of water (3% Caustic). For more detailed instructions, please contact sales representatives.

DRAFT LINE CLEANING PROCEDURE

Remove the beer faucets for hand cleaning parts and gasket inspection.

Push the beer with water out of draft lines. Leave the lines packed with water. Next, fill the cleaning solution circulating or holding vessel with water.

In gallons, calculate the liquid volume the draft line system holds. This includes the liquid volume in the beer lines as well as the liquid volume in the cleaning solution holding vessel. Example: (ten feet of standard 3/8" ID beer line holds 0.0057 gallons) plus the liquid volume in the solution holding vessel.

Wear proper eye and hand protection (Safety glasses and rubber gloves).

Accurately measure and add to the water in the cleaning solution holding vessel the calculated amount of concentrated "Dratec" to use based on the liquid volume the draft line cleaning system holds and soil conditions of the beer lines.

Safety Note: Add Draftec line cleaner to water, never the reverse.

Thoroughly mix the contents of the cleaning solution holding vessel.

Pump the contents of the cleaning solution holding vessel into the beer lines.

With circulation line cleaning, pump from and return to the cleaning solution holding vessel. The velocity should be 2 gallons/minutes.

With static line cleaning, make sure all the water packed in the lines from pushing out the beer is displaced with the Dratec cleaning solution.

Contact time for the cleaning solution to effectively clean the beer lines should be a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes.

When cleaning solution contact time is finished, if desired, push proper sized sponge through beer lines before flushing the cleaning solution out of the beer lines with clean water to drain. If a sponge is not used, just push the cleaning solution out of the beer lines with clean water to the drain.

Flush with water until all traces of the cleaning solution are removed from beer lines. Use pH strips or a pH meter to help determine neutrality of the flush water to the drain.

Excellent Cleaner

John

This is the best beer line cleaner we have found. We use it after we run 2 kegs through...which is every month and a half to 2 months. this stuff does a great job of cleaning lines, faucet and tap.... and does not leave any bad after taste at all. Well worth the price.

Simply The Best

John

It does not matter whether it is a home tap or commercial tap you need to clean it out at least once a month. This stuff is the best. Whether you get the clear or blue color it's the same. This stuff will keep your system clean so you get a fresh tasting beer every time.

Amazing to watch it clean!

Andy

This stuff is great! It is very satisfying to watch it flow through the lines (my lines are clear) and watch the beer stone etc just disappear. I highly recommend!

I will only use this brand.

James

Best product I have used to to clean my beer lines and parts. A product I truly trust and works, but not harmful.

Works Perfect

Mark

Easy to use and very powerful. I really like the blue dye because you can see when it's flushed out the lines. I won't buy a different cleaner than this one.

Question:

What to do with exposure to solution when leaked when cleaning a line.

by mimi on October 23, 2018

Answer:

It's important to wear proper eye and glove protection when using the cleaner. If exposed to the solution on skin or mouth rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical help. If exposed in your eyes rinse with water for 15 minutes and seek medical help.

Question:

I have a question about the recommended time to run through the beer lines with this cleaning solution. Also, is it recommended to rinse with water after cleaning? If so, for how long?

by Tellys tap cleaning on May 09, 2019

Answer:

Here is a link to the manufacturers website. https://actechinc.co/beer-line-cleaner , cleaning times are usually between 15-30 minutes of contact time, followed by significant amount of rinsing. This stuff is very dangerous and using ph strips to confirm your rinse water is free of line cleaner is always recommended.
