Check the o-rings over (I'd actually just replace all of the rubber) for flat spots & degraded rubber. Flush or brush out the tubes. Rinse everything. Reassemble. Pressure check.
When I buy my kegs, I put them through this process. Once the kegs have been initially cleaned, between batches I use this method of getting the beer kegged and it takes 1 hour of which 35 minutes is unattended.subwyking said:
2nd Street Brewery said:Ok heres my question. What are and how do you remove the 'poppet valves'? I am assuming they are the gas in and beer out valves but how do you take them out and what is required in cleaning them. The dip tube I know as well as the O rings but I have never seen a description of pulling the poppets.
