EQUENCE
Perform these steps at least once a week, to ensure quality control.
1) Perform a CIP sequence
2) Check the following to ensure that cleaning operation frequencies are effective and adequate:
a) Swab the Process Mains, Bright Beer Tank, and Racker Connection Head
b) Visually inspect the Process Mains, Bright Beer Tank, and Racker Connection Head

AMPLING
Samples will be taken from a filled keg of beer set aside from the keg line for testing. Remove these
samples from the B.B.T. and keg at a frequency set by the brewery QC department standards.
1) Remove a test keg from the line and allow it to stand for 5 to 10 minutes
a) Ensure pressure in the keg is approximately 75% of the counter pressure used during the
latter part of the filling sequence
b) Sterilize the Keg Neck and Pressure Test Coupler
2) Connect the Pressure Test Coupler to the Keg Neck while maintaining the sterile area
3) Force the contents by leaving the keg in a 70°F (21°C) environment for 72 hours
4) Perform the QC standard taste, odor, and clarity tests
5) Take other taste, odor, and clarity tests at regular intervals, as stated in the Q.C. standards
NOTE: Funnel, Sample, and Pressure Test Couplers may be purchased from IDD to suit
your specific keg valve type.

UMMARY
Use the aforementioned tests to determine that these points about the keg machine function and
cleaning procedures are occurring properly.
•
On the wash head(s), the wash water and detergent is being cleared from the keg during the final
steam purge, or CO
2
purge sequence
•
The final keg rinse on the wash head(s) removes residual detergent adequately
•
The CO
2
purge removes condensate traces from the keg on the racker head prior to filling
•
Microbial integrity, via Oxine (ClO
2
) or steam sanitizing of the keg, is achieved
•
The cleanliness and microbial integrity is being maintained by the separate plant CIP regime
•
The separate plant CIP sequence is effective in removing all traces of beer protein and other
residuals from the keg plant connection head(s) and piping system(s)
•
Verify the residual pressure in the keg after filling indicates that keg CO
2
in solution is being
maintained properly
o
If the pressure in the keg is above that of the filling counter pressure, then it is highly
probable that the keg was overfilled and has created hydraulic pressure
o
When filling against a “backup” probe, this hydraulic pressure condition will be normal
