What is the recommended replacement frequency for vinyl/jumper beer lines?

The recommended replacement frequency for vinyl or jumper beer lines is annually. Over time, beer lines can develop buildup from beer stone, bacteria, and other contaminants, which can negatively impact the flavor and quality of the beer. Additionally, vinyl materials can degrade and become prone to oxidation and leaching, potentially imparting undesirable flavors into the beer. By replacing these lines annually, the risk of these issues can be minimized, ensuring a clean and beneficial transfer of beer from the keg to the tap. Regular maintenance, including the annual replacement of beer lines, is crucial for maintaining beer quality and safety.
