Question for line cleaners
Have any beer line cleaners experienced this? I have a high volume account that is cleaned every two weeks and the faucets have a huge yeast buildup in them every two weeks in the summer time. Like 90% of the accounts the bartenders pour incorrectly and shove the glass into the beer up to the foam. The vent hole becomes clogged and the faucets will have one fourth inch buildup in the spout. It is similar to what you might encounter on a faucet that has not been cleaned in years. These faucets are disassembled and cleaned every two weeks!!! You see the big yeast buildup only in the warm weather!
The lines are about 175 feet long and are split into three locations once they reach the bar, Glycol is at 29 degrees and beer is about 38 degrees in the glass, series kegs. The faucets drip with condensation at this time of the year. The very high yeast buildup is mostly on the lite beers.
I am not new to line cleaning and have over 75 accounts, but have not seen this before. Is this all due to improper pouring? If so why only in summer time?
