I'm not sure about all of you, but I think its time we, as draft technicians, stand up and define the standard when it comes to line cleaning. In doing this, we ensure that it is enforced so that draft quality does not suffer. This would keep everyone honest; retail would get most profit out of every keg(through cleaning & maintanence), and the distributors would not have an opportunity to "forget" about line cleaning. Coming from a brewing background, this is something I guess I am passionate about. And I'm not neccessarily talking bad about distributors in whole; I just think that some sort of enforcement would benefit everyone. As a draft tech. and cleaner myself, I would love if that meant more business for me. If standards are made then we can get rid of the line cleaners that use water, petroleum-based cleaners, or God knows what else to "clean" lines. If you're interested in tossing some ideas around about how to begin initiation of legislation, then give me a call @ 828.777.8240 or post a reply on this thread.
