Draft beer systems come in all shapes and sizes. We specialize in designing systems to fit not just your space but your design goals as well. We worked with our friends to install a system at their showroom. Make an appointment with them to visit their amazing showroom.

Proper beer line cleaning is crucial to maintaining the quality and taste of your draft beer. Over time, yeast, mold, beer stones, and bacteria can accumulate, negatively effecting flavor, appearance, and overall beer quality. Regular beer cleaning at least once every two weeks prevents these enemies from harming your system and ensures optimal performance. At Northwest Draft Technicians we use industry leading cleaning chemicals from Micro Matic.

Regular cleaning of the faucet, beer hose, and keg coupler are critical since beer is an excellent food for bacteria. Bacteria eat beer, digests it, and eventually secretes a biofilm that adheres and layers on the systems inside surfaces (anaerobic environment). If not cleaned regularly (every 14-days), the bacteria will directly impact the beer’s flavor and appearance. Additionally, bacteria, yeast, mold, and beer stone will accumulate quickly on all surfaces, degrading draft beer quality and eventually causing dispensing problems.

Cleaning beer lines requires a cleaning pump capable of circulating chemicals at a 2 gallon per minute flow rate. Overtime the cleaning pumps need to be rebuilt and Casey from our team is making sure we have back ups on the shelf. We use the micromatic stadium pumps and stock replacement parts for any repairs needed.
