So you want fifty names of beer companies.
Most beer draft service personnel carry a variety of cleaners.
I sold chemicals for Diversey Corp and the beer companies used vinegar to
back flush lines and remove yeast mold discoloration.
They may very well use ten other chemicals as well but it must be
something that is compatible with beer and be free rinsing enough that it
doesn't leave residue in the flexible plastic lines. Vinegar suited their
purpose.
Please submit to me a list of the chemicals that you think beer companies
use to clean draft beer lines in clubs and restaurants. I'd be very
interested to know.
I said in a perevious post that I wasn't a chemist ............... so
bear with me on this thing.
