Remedial action is straightforward and as recommended by the Brewers Association (2011) draught beer quaUty manual such that every 14days all FOB-stop devices should be cleaned in line, and cleaning solution vented out of the top and every three months all FOB-stop devices should be completely disassanbled and hand-cleaned .
