CT State Liquor Control Regulation

UPDATED IN OCTOBER 2023 to Bi-Weekly Cleaning

Freel's Draft Service ensures that all CT clients comply with Sec. 30-6-A23 Sanitation regulations.

(b) (1) Beer or wine pipe lines and barrel tubes used to dispense alcoholic beverages in places where such dispensing is carried on shall be cleaned, at least once every two weeks, by the use of a hydraulic pressure mechanism, hand pump suction, a force cleaner or any other system approved by the department for such purpose; and (2) after cleaning such lines or tubes, such lines or tubes  shall be rinsed with clear water until all chemicals used to clean such  lines or tubes, if chemicals were used to clean such lines or tubes, are removed from such lines or tubes. 

(e)  A record card shall be used to record the dates of the cleaning of beer  or wine pipe lines, coils, tubes and appurtenances. Said card shall be  signed by the person who performs the cleaning operation  and countersigned by the permittee. Such cards shall be kept upon the  permit premises for a period of one year from the date of the last entry  and shall be available at all times for inspection by an agent of the  department and by the local health enforcement officers.
