beer line cleaning question

where do i ask question about line cleaning

 

[lurker18]

I would put it up here, or in the kegging section. If the mods don't like where it is, they will move it.

Getting ahead of your question....

BLC in a corny run through and sitting for about 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and then use Starsan/Iodopher to run through again.

Usually cleans all but the most crappy beer line problems.

beer line cleaning ,question ,my kit directions say to let cleaning solution in lines for 10 min.,but when i pump from my pump bottle ,hooked up at the tower shank solution just gets in line and goes down right away to ,bucket, not staying in line

Open faucet a little
Pump cleaner into line
Close faucet
With both ends closed the cleaner should stay in the lines...

I cleaned mine recently and left sanitizer in the lines for about a week. The keg with cleaner in it is a nice thing because you can push it into the lines, and then disconnect from the keg and that end closes automatically.

I mix up a dilute solution of oxyclean and hot water in the last keg (rinsed throughly) that was on that tap. I run about one gallons of that solution through, let it sit for awhile then run another gallon through. I rinse the keg and then run a couple gallons of starsan and hot water through. Done deal.

I assume that you are pumping cleaner backwards into the beer line? That works, I've done that.

Try to put the quick disconnect back on the line, but loosely so that cleaner will "leak" around the fitting. Then when you want the flow to stop, tighten the fitting to stop the flow.

Let the disasembled faucet soak in the bucket. Alternatively, if the faucet is relatively clean, just open it and let it soak.
