Draft System Preventive Maintainence
Is there a record detailing a service log? This is a great starting point showing us the history of the equipment. In most cases, there is no record documented if the service was even performed.
The reason is most establishments do not require documentation from management because it is not required by the Health Department or TABC. With glycol systems that were recently installed, the manufactures warranty could be at risk without required service. Another factor is management relocation and turnover.

The most important thing you could do for your draft beer system installation is to have an exceptional draft beer system maintenance program.
At Better Beer Revolution, we provide both quarterly and semi-annual maintenance programs for line cleaning, and draft beer system maintenance.
