Dropping the C Bomb – it’s just around the corner!

Cellar and Bar Hygiene

• Schedule your weekly beer line cleans so everyone knows when it’s going to happen
• If you have booked the service technician for your soda dispense system give it a line clean with diluted line cleaner (0.2-0.5% dilution)
• Soak all your nozzles, sprinklers etc.
• Give your cellar a good clean, including keg couplers, Cleaning Ring Main attachments, Cask dipsticks, Cask Shives and Keystones

Glassware

• Now might be a good time to renovate your glassware to make sure they are free of anything that might cause bloom right when you need it least.

Ice Ice Baby

• Time to get those ice machines, buckets, scoops and tongs thoroughly clean. They are susceptible to mould, some rather nasty bacteria and limescale. The run-up to the festive period is the time to thoroughly clean and service your ice machine so it will go the distance.

Dish and Glasswashing

• Before the rush, it’s worth getting your washers serviced.  Not only does it minimise the chances of them konking out at the worst moment, a good service will ensure they are operating optimally. This has the double advantage of being both energy efficient and giving you the quickest turn-around for your glassware and tableware.

Pearls of Wisdom

• In this time of hectic festive cheer for your staff, a short hygiene best-practice pow-wow reminder session helps to keep things running smoothly.
