I think I might go overboard when cleaning my kegs and lines. I'm hoping I can do a little less cleaning after getting some feedback from you all.
Here is what I do every time I finish a beer and get ready to put a new one in:
1. Take apart the faucet, soak it in oxyclean solution, rinse it, lube all o rings, sanitize it with Star San, put it back together.
2. Repeat #1 for the gas and liquid keg couples.
3. Repeat #1 for each keg.
4. Put oxyclean solution in keg and run through the line. Let it sit in line for at least 15 minutes.
5. Rinse with hot water. Run through line.
6. Let Star San solution sit in keg. Make sure it gets over every surface at least 20 seconds. Run through line, but let it sit in line for 15 minutes.
Instead of doing all of that every time, I am hoping to only do steps 4-6 every other time to reduce the amount of cleaning/lubing I have to do. Does this seem like a good idea or should I really take everything apart to get that deep clean/lubing every single time?
