Any thoughts?

When I made mine, I used a ball lock. Pin lock probably a different size thread

Saw this post today at work. Stopped at Northern Brewer during lunch and HD on the way home. Built it within 15 minutes of getting home. Can't wait to use it now!
Thanks for the great idea!

Just picked up most of what I need.
Thanks to Geniz for the good picture of the adapter. Made it easy to find in the wall of parts at HD. Now I just need to swing by Brewmasters and get a ball lock liquid post.

I'm sure brewmasters is wondering why they've got a run on ball lock posts! ;-)

Great idea and thanks for sharing. I just made one of these but I went a bit different route. I have all my liquid lines equipped with the 1/4 inch barbed swivel nuts so I just put on an adapter from the 3/8ths sprayer to a 1/4 inch flare. I just take the ball lock connector off (and clean it separately) and screw the beer line onto the sprayer to push cleaner through.

Did the same thing myself, but I added a 1/4" ball valve between the bottle and 1/4" flare and a brass tire stem valve to the other end of the bottle to use CO2 to push the cleaning solution.

With this setup, can you control the flow of cleaner with the spray trigger? It's no big deal, but when I hooked mine up, the cleaner flowed through the keg post as soon as I hooked the liquid disconnect to it and the trigger didn't do anything. Thanks, great idea, I've already used it many times in the past 2 weeks!

if you remove the little green tip piece then the trigger valve has nothing to seal against. the keg post is now the valve, but once a hose is connected its open.
