If you'd ask me about cleaning my beer lines, I'd say I do it about every 2 weeks, until I really think about it. In reality it's about every 5 to 6 weeks. Whats worse, I think I clean my lines more frequently than most other homebrewers. (Currently I'm replacing my keggor which allows me to see how important regular cleaning is.) I have 4 taps on my old system. 2 of which have stainless shanks. The other 2 are chrome plated brass. Let just say, don't purchase chrome plated brass if you are building a keggor. (they are replaced on the new system) No matter what you have, cleaning is essential to good beer.
My cleaning ways of the past was filling up a scotty keg with Beer Line Cleaner (BLC) and running it thru my system into a bucket. This system, easy as it is, didn't allow me to re-circle the cleaning liquid as directed on the bottle. It was a one time shot thru the line, shank and then out the Perlicks. If a line needed extra cleaning, I was out of luck. Having to blend more BLC into the keg and waste more Co2. I needed something better.



Now that the bucket is filled, I just walk up to my keggor and quick connect the black liquid line to the stainless quick connect and turn on the pump. Allowing it to run for about 15 minutes on each tab.
After, I run water thru the lines for about 10 mins. Easy as that. Clean beer lines with minimal effort. My keggor sits outside on a balcony, with 6 hours of solid sunlight, so with the ease of this set up I've started cleaning the lines every Saturday morning as the kids watch TV.
In total this whole set up cost me under $25.00. Including the pump, stainless connector and new beer lines.
Who is the rarely cleans keg lines group...? I slowly raise my hand. I think your cleaning regiment is great! I only clean when switching kegs out...can't be pretty in there... Now excuse me while I go clean my kegs.

I would love that. But at $73.00 it is a little out of my budget for cleaning.
DeleteYeh those manifolds are a chunk. Hope your new kegerator turns out well.
DeleteThanks John, I have 2 out of the 4 taps installed. Lowes didn't have another toilet flange for the other tower. I have 2 new beers carbing up this morning.

I _always_ break down kegs, my lines, unfortunately don't see as frequent cleaning. I'm overdue for a line replacement too. cool setup.
ReplyDeleteGreat setup.
ReplyDeleteGuilty. I'm buying this stuff now. Thanks for design.
ReplyDeleteDo you guys thing the aquarium pump would have enough power to handle the 4 output design of the ritebrew product? I'm up to 8 tap handles now, so the ability to clean four at a time is pretty tempting...
ReplyDeleteI would be interested to see that as well. Though I already have a sump pump I use for my carboy/bucket cleaner and recirculating icewater for chilling. You could throttle the flow with a cheap garden hose valve... Or you could somehow rig up a march pump with a bottling bucket or something. I got my sump pump on CL pretty cheap, like $30 or something.
DeleteI am only using cobra taps right now so correct me if I'm wrong but why couldn't you just daisy chain all the taps together and connect the ball lock connectors together using brewhardware's product (see my post above). Kind of like how this guy did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8qZUlTSW0Y . With 8 taps it would cost ~$20+shipping for 4 jumpers. All you would need to connect the taps together would be some silicone hose. You wouldn't even need the barb-->ball lock QD post part.
The pump above would not be able to move that much liquid. I used it on my 120' coiled jockey box and it can not push that much volume thru.
DeleteThey do make bigger GPM pumps or a march pump would do the trick.
John, that is a pretty sweet attachment to have around the house. Might have to get one
