10 tips to help ensure quality beer brought to you by professional beer line cleaners

As experts in the industry, we wanted to share our top tips to help ensure you consistently serve perfect pints. Let’s start by looking at the areas of the bar that affect beer quality and how making a few simple adjustments could help ensure those perfect pints.

1.     Follow a daily and weekly bar checklist
A checklist is a good tool to have and can help you and your team stay on top of tasks. At Clear Brew, we supply our customers with useful checklists to make it easier to manage.

2.     Don’t forget about your nozzles
Nozzles are often the part of the dispense system that is neglected. They are also often cleaned simply by soaking them in soda water. This, however, is not necessarily best practice as it does not have any cleaning effect. So, how can you care for your nozzles? Introducing our Sparkler Cleaning Kit! This product effectively and safely cleans nozzles, ultimately helping you maintain the perfect serve.

3.     Take good care of glassware
The difference between a good and bad pint can be down to the glassware. Using a detergent such as Complete can help keep them in top condition without renovating separately.

4.     Pay attention to general hygiene
Beer is classified as a food therefore the handling of it should conform to Health & Safety legislation.

5.     Ensure glasses are stored correctly
It is best practice to store wet glasses upside down on lattice sheets. This allows the air circulate and prevents moisture becoming trapped.

Now let’s take a look at how you can improve your cellar maintenance routine to help protect the quality of your beer and ensure perfect pints.

6.     Clean the cellar
Make sure that you regularly clean the floors, walls, and drains.

7.     Remove any items that shouldn’t be in the cellar
It’s important to avoid storing food in the cellar and do not allow rubbish to build-up.

8.     Use a cellar checklist to keep on top of tasks
As part of the Clear Brew service, we provide cellar checklists to help ensure you and your team don’t miss any crucial points.

9.     Rotate your stock
By moving older stock to the front, you will prevent beer being wasted.

10.  Clean the beer lines regularly
Cleaning your beer lines (thoroughly and correctly) on a regular basis is important for maintaining quality pints.
