PREPPING YOUR DRAFT LINES FOR TEMPORARY CLOSURES
Closing your restaurant or bar because of COVID-19 doesn’t mean you can’t be proactive. Take advantage of the extra time now, and prepare your draft systems for your reopening. Get your draft systems in good condition and properly care for your keg wine, so you won’t lose inventory or time when you start pouring again. Here are some suggested best practices:
Un-tap kegs and store in a temperature controlled space
Clean valve and cover to protect from dust or bacteria
Winterize your draft system – drain and clean the linesand couplers
Wipe down the inside of the kegerators and clean up any spills
Don’t worry about wine spoilage – whether your keg has beentapped or not, steel kegs keep wine fresh till you can startpouring again
