Regular maintenance of your Glastender remote beer dispensing system will help keep it running properly and ensure your
maximum profit. It may be best for you to contract with an outside agency that will provide beer system maintenance at
regular intervals. The following list shows the time intervals and suggested maintenance.
Every Day
• Flush all dispenser drains by pouring hot water down them. Only use clean, hot water.
Every Two Weeks
• Clean beer lines. When yeast and barley separate from the beer recipe, they form a bio-film on the inner wall of the
beverage tubing. This bio-film buildup provides the media on which bacteria may feed. The by-product of the bacteria
will taint the taste of the beer. Your local health department may have policies that dictate how often your beer lines
must be cleaned. Obviously, there are cost and practicality issues to consider, but you should not go more than 30 days
without cleaning your beer lines.
Every Month
• Check coolant level in line chiller glycol bath. If coolant level is low, add a mixture of glycol and water to bring the
level up to the proper height. Glastender’s glycol may be mixed two parts water to one part glycol and still withstand
temperatures as low as O°F without freezing. NOTE: Only use Dow-Therm or equivalent brand glycol. Do NOT use
R.V. grade glycol or antifreeze.
Every 3 Months
• Inspect all primary and secondary pressure regulator settings and inspect the system for leaks.
• Inspect floor chases and seal any open chase ends. If water enters a floor chase it should be removed as quickly and
thoroughly as possible. Any water buildup inside a chase will affect the temperature and taste of the beer, and produce
poor drawing results.
• Inspect beverage conduits for damage. Re-insulate and seal any uninsulated areas.
• Clean the line chiller air-cooled condenser using a vacuum cleaner.
Every 6 Months
• Check glycol concentration using an antifreeze tester.
