When you run a pub or bar that dispenses beer, one of the most essential tasks is keeping the beer lines clean. There are quite a number of things that can taint your beer and will lead to loss of customers and therefore loss of sales. One of the most important of these is yeast build-up in the pipe lines. Yeast build-up can occur as a result of yeasts left over from the brewing process. Yeast build-up can also be a result of natural yeasts that float around in the air. Yeasts are usually found on things like the couplers, spouts, sparklers, and drains. If wild yeasts are on the couplers there is a good chance that they can get into the beer lines during keg/cask changes and cause an infection.   Another problem is moulds. These love to live in cool, damp places, and can get into the dispense system and form bio-film colonies. This should not happen with regular line cleaning. It can also occur if you pour slops back into the cask at the end of a sessio...

Director of Cask Marque, Paul Nunny, has said that their Scores on the Cellar Doors programme has shown that there is definite room for improvement, with many pubs only achieving three marks out of five when they were audited for the scheme.  Nunny said that they have been talking about beer quality for 20 years, but that "not everyone is listening". He went on to say that their beer quality report showed that pubs are losing £300 million in profits every year – that's profits, not sales - as a result of poor beer and cellar management, but that a well-kept cellar increases beer sales by 3%. That can add up to a lot of money over the course of a year.   You can't take short cuts with cellar management, and you certainly won't ...
