What does it mean to be “proactive” instead of “reactive”? The word reactive implies that you are easily caught off guard by situations, which leads to a mad scramble when a problem arises. It simply means you don’t have a plan. Proactive implies that you are prepared in advance, you know what is coming and when it hits you are ready to take action. But what in the world does this have to do with your draft system? Glad you asked!

A preventative maintenance plan is exactly what you need to be proactive. A maintenance plan can eliminate system failures and reduce unexpected and expensive service calls. Instead of “reacting” to unexpected draft system issues, you can be mentally and fiscally prepared with a maintenance plan that allows you to take control of your draft system.

Draft Beer Services offers a comprehensive assessment of your system that will ensure all system components are in accordance with Brewers Association standards. You will have no surprises!

One of the biggest preventative maintenance issues to stay on top of is line cleaning. There are a number of unsavory morsels that can develop in a poorly maintained beer system. Bacteria, yeast, and mold can all invade a draft system. In addition to the “gross” factor, all of these can affect the quality, taste, smell, and color of the beer. Calcium Oxalate, otherwise know as “beerstone” can also develop in the lines. Even though this develops from trace minerals found inside the beer itself, the buildup of beerstone can quite quickly destroy the flavor of your beer.

We offer complete system recirculation pump cleaning (with caustic chemical and acid chemical) that can give you peace of mind. Knowing that all of your lines are in pristine condition at all times is a very proactive move!

Our preventative maintenance plans are available biweekly, monthly, or quarterly to fit your needs and budget. Make an appointment to perfect your craft today.
