Beer Line & Faucet Cleaning Brushes

Mechanical Cleaning Brushes for Draft Beer Faucets, Lines & Couplers

Chemical cleaners dissolve organic buildup — but brushes do the mechanical work that chemicals can't. Proper draft system maintenance requires both. The Brewers Association recommends a full faucet disassembly and brush cleaning every two weeks, and line brushes are essential for scrubbing the inner bore of beer lines during deep cleans.

Brush Types

• Faucet brushes — sized to reach inside the faucet body and clean the bore, spout, and valve seat after disassembly; removes yeast, protein, and beer stone that soaking alone won't clear
• Coupler brushes — clean the probe and body of keg couplers where beer contacts metal; critical for preventing cross-contamination between kegs
• Beer line brushes — long flexible brushes for scrubbing the inner wall of beer lines during periodic deep cleans; use in addition to chemical line cleaning

Cleaning Schedule (BA Guidelines)

• Every 2 weeks: full chemical line cleaning with BLC or equivalent; faucet disassembly and brush cleaning
• Every keg change: wipe down coupler exterior; inspect faucet for buildup
• Every 3 months: deep clean with line brushes; inspect all gaskets and seals

Use With

Pair brushes with beer line cleaner and cleaning equipment for a complete maintenance program that meets BA draught quality standards.
