What parts should I replace? Just all the o-rings, and soak the rest in hot Oxyclean?
i think i've found a new method of cleaning out my kegs instead of using sanitizer and oxyclean. my beers usually taste fine until i get them in the keg.
for the last two batches I've taken the keg outside and rinsed it out with my chlorine riddled water from the hose. while I'm doing this I get some water boiling on the stove (about a gallon or so). once it's boiling I pour it in the keg and put the lid on. it usually vents off a little bit from the steam. Pick it up, shake it around and hook it up to the CO2. then I dispense through the picnic tap and run it through my racking cane to clean/sanitize it as well. the water is still boiling hot at this point. once the kegs empty I vent off the remaining pressure, open the top and put the racking cane in so it doesn't touch anything. then I proceed as normal.
I think I'm going to stick to this method. I know everyone says don't fear the foam and all that, but it's always bothered me to dump beer on a ton of sanitizer foam. this has worked great for the last two batches. and it's cheaper.
also, wine theif's are the ****.

Is that organization still active?
So no oxiclean just straight boiling water?
Found the post. Are you doing this and then storing or just before you reuse it? If just before you reuse it, do you clean it the "regular" way first?
Yeah, their clubhouse is on 39th Ave. across from the Airport.
Oh, and Danny ... did your wife win citizen of the month?
That would be my daughter.
I need to start saving my oxy and my starsan then! No more cleaning and sanitizing kegs!
also, how often should I clean the lines on my sweet masterpiece? I was thinking maybe once a month?
I run the boiling water through the lines everytime I empty a keg.
ah... that's not a bad idea.. I was thinking I needed to oxy the lines
