I'd like to build a CIP cleaning system for 1/6bbl sanke kegs. I'm going based off of this system for cleaning a corny keg: http://***********/stories/projects...t-yourself/471-clean-in-place-system-for-kegs
Basically, i don't want to have to remove the spear to clean it, and i want to use as little PBW and starsan as possible. The problem is that solution is for a corny keg which has a much smaller beer-out tube, meaning it sprays a lot harder even with a smaller pump.
The idea is t have the keg upside down, pump cleaning solution in through the beer-out line, and pump it back out through the CO2 inline. I would have to remove the checkvalves from a coupler.
Any thoughts on what kind of pump to use? I'd imagine i need one with a pretty good flow rate to have it coat all of the walls and not just trickle down the spear seeing that the spear is much larger in diameter than a corny pickup-tube.
