HEG Safe Beer Line Cleaner — Alkaline Replacement
Bars, restaurants and breweries require maintenance solutions that protect beer quality and employee safety. Heartland Energy Group LTD formulates a beer line alkaline cleaner using green chemistry to address organic buildup in draft systems. This draft line cleaner removes yeast, proteins, hop resins and biofilm without hazardous caustic compounds. Operations gain a beer line cleaner that delivers performance while reducing workplace risks.
Traditional beer tap line cleaner solutions rely on harsh caustic agents, creating handling hazards. Our alkaline beer line cleaner employs surfactant technology to break down biological material at higher pH levels. The beer line cleaning chemical disrupts protein bonds and dissolves organic buildup while remaining compatible with draft components.
Low-foam characteristics distinguish this brewery line cleaner from typical products. Reduced foam allows extended surface contact, improving deposit removal in keg line cleaner applications.

Use a 2%–3% cleaning solution (3–4 ounces) of HEG Alkaline
Replacement Safe Beer Line Cleaner per gallon of water and
circulate solution for 15–20 minutes depending on the buildup.
Increase ounces as needed for more heavily soiled lines. Flush
lines with clean water for 15 minutes. After cleaning, test rinse
water with litmus paper or phenolphthalein to ensure a pH
between 7–8. To maintain fresh clean lines, cleaning is
recommended every 2 weeks.
