Keg Line Cleaner Diy

One of the least fun things about owning a home kegging system is cleaning the beer lines.

Keg line cleaner diy.

Wait while the solution soaks in the lines. I usually go for 15 minutes. Run clean water through the draft line under pressure to flush out the cleaner. Then reconnect the kegs.

Pour your first pint from the new. Open the faucet and let it run until beer comes out. Run a cleaning solution through the draft line under pressure until the flow runs clear. Empty the keg and put a couple of litres of starsan mix in the keg them flush the lines saving the starsan for future use to soak parts in.

However i have noticed that the lines stay very clean but the taps do collect a lot of gunk. This can be difficult without a keg line cleaner and it can be tempting to skip doing it altogether. In addition to serving that purpose it is simple and easy to build for anyone with a willingness to try. In the end you will have a tool that can pump fluids through the lines without adding.

Tap the next keg. Cleaner from the bucket will be pumped through the liquid and gas posts which will fill the keg and eventually cause cleaning solution to cascade down the side of the keg and back into the bucket. The purpose of this project is to create a tool that can pump beer line cleaner water and or sanitizer through keg lines and my blichmann beer gun line. Make a home brew keg line cleaner.

Just like with the line cleaner this can run unattended indefinitely leaving you free to tend to more important matters like drinking a beer.
