Hey Everyone,
I just want some advice.
I have a kegerator with 4 taps on the door so all the lines are refrigerated.
I was originally cleaning the lines every 4 weeks with purple line cleaner then rinsing it out.
Then I reduced this to every 6 weeks. By mistake this time round it's been 8 weeks (as of today when I cleaned) however I haven't noticed any off flavours from any of the 4 beers I have on.
I've done some research on other threads etc and some say every 2 weeks and others say once the keg kicks. However I am wondering if this differs because of certain set ups i.e. taps with towers and taps door mounted.
All my beer lines are refrigerated within the fridge the same as the kegs. I am wondering how it is that the internal dip tube of the keg not being cleaned periodically until the keg has kicks is fine but the line from keg to tap must be cleaned regularly? Surely with both storing beer within a refrigerated environment means the contents are the same?
Also what do other people do?
