Howdy folks,
I am long overdue for a beer line cleaning on my converted kegerator. I've used CO2 to pump PBW before. But due to moving to a new house, my system has gone unused, with old sediments (including brett funk), for quite some time. So I wanted to get my pipes clean with some BLC.
Everywhere I read, people are using pumps of various sorts. Plenty of things to buy.
I tried an experiment with just water. I put a gallon of water in a bottling bucket on a platform well above my kegerator faucet. I attached a hose from the spigot of the bottling bucket to the beer line - secured the loose connections with hose clamps. Turned on the spigot, then turned on the faucet. The water flowed just fine into another bucket to catch what comes out.
I haven't seen anyone try this in my google searches, so I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything before I start pumping the BLC/water solution.
Also - any reason I can't put BLC solution in a bottling bucket?
Thanks all!
