Foamy Draft Beer

Foamy draft beer can be caused by many things, but one of the most common is dirty beer lines.  The build up of bacteria, mold, and yeast can cause beer stone.  This will result in not only foamy beer, but can also reduce the quality and taste.  The best way to prevent this is to clean the beer lines as well as faucets and couplers regularly.  At a minimum you should clean your system after each keg of beer.  This can easily be accomplished with the use of a beer line cleaning kit in under half an hour.  This process is as simple as using the pump included in the kit to pump water mixed with the supplied chemicals into the system and allowing it to soak.  After this rinse the lines well and inspect all o’rings and gaskets to make sure they are in good condition and re assemble the system.  These few simple steps will keep you beer tasting fresh, just make sure these steps are performed between each keg and follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the cleaning kit you purchase.
