Draft Cleaning & Maintenance

You know IL law requires bi-weekly cleaning, but did you know circulation cleaning is 80x more effective than static methods?

For your business, cleaner draft lines mean reduced product loss (some customers see an increased output of 8-10 pints per keg*) and improved beverage quality. This equals happier customers, reduced costs, and higher profits back in your pocket.
*based on self-reported client statement; results may vary
At Leaders, we prioritize quality above all, blending robust services with sharp attention to detail and only high-quality materials. All accounts are cleaned using MicroMatic chemicals, and our draft technicians are experienced in the beverage industry, MicroMatic Dispense Specialist certified, and are Certified Beer Servers through the Cicerone program.

Maintenance & Cleaning Services (Plus we service Soda Pop too)

Bi-Weekly Cleans

Illinois state law requires establishments with refrigerated draft lines be cleaned bi-weekly.

Our regular service includes:
Caustic Circulation Cleaning | Circulation methods ensure the most effective cleaning of your system to remove bacterial growth.
Hardware Cleaning | Every visit, we remove and sanitize faucets, as well as sterilizing couplers; static methods often don’t.
Full System Management | We’ll keep an eye on your gas lines, blender boxes, glycol units and more to help ensure efficient function and fewer emergencies.

Quarterly Acid Cleaning

In addition to bi-weekly caustic cleaning, regular acid maintenance can take a system from a few good years of use to more than a decade.

On these visits, Leaders will conduct:
Acid Line Cleaning | Removes off-flavors and beer stone buildup, which causes turbulence, debris, foaming in your system over time.
Hardware Deep-Clean | Complete disassembly and sterilization of all faucets, plus sterilization of couplers.

Additional Services

Beyond regular maintenance, Leaders is also proud to provide these additional services:

Gas System Maintenance | Technicians check for and repair leaks, and manage your blender box.
Beer & Gas Line Jumper Maintenance | Due to the porous nature of line jumpers, we recommend replacing these every 18 months.
Glycol Machine Service | Regular upkeep every few years will refresh a tired, inefficient system that struggles to keep your beer cold.
Line Stripping | Remove unwanted flavors when transitioning a line from one beverage to another using an isopropyl alcohol soak.
Shock Cleaning | remove off-flavors from old, neglected or infected lines.

Leaders Beverage designed our draft system at Black & Gray Brewing Co. and have been maintaining it ever since. We have had zero issues. The service levels are unbelievable. Multiple team members from Leaders were at our soft opening, just to make sure everything was working right and to make adjustments as needed. As a small nano brewery, receiving that amount of attention and care really stood out to us why choosing Leaders was one of the best decisions we made.
