How do you clean your eqiupment with no Hose?

[Tiako]

I just moved and I notice that I have no water hose outside or one on the kitchen sink...

you can buy adapters at a hardware store to put one on your sink.
Did you buy the house or rent? If rent would the landlord install a spigot if you paid for it? Or let you do it? If you bought a house, put one in!

 

[Tiako]

Nah I rent and I don't think they will put one in for me.

For years I just ran a hose from the bathroom sink as it was the closest to the garage and didn;t pick up heat from a long assed hose through the yard.

Recently, I had my plumber tap a PEX line from the hot and cold sides of my water heater. The closet for it is in my garage and, I AM LOVING having both Hot and Cold water for brewing.

Shower/bathtub.

If you've got a shower you can use your funnel to direct water into carboys.

I live in a 4th floor apartment. All cleaning is easily done in my bathtub. Just put on some grungy clothes and prepare to get wet!

I use my bathtub. I have a handheld shower massager thing and it works great. Fill everything up with hot water and oxyclean, let it sit, rinse it out. That's all it takes.

Does anyone know what size hose connector to use for a shower?

WAY too many options out there - no way of knowing what you need.

Take it off, take it to a hardware store, and get someone to help you size it.

I use neither a hose, nor my bathtub. I just cleaned out one of my primaries two nights ago in my sink (it's a pretty deep sink, with a detachable faucet/sprayer) and didn't really have any issue with it. Just filled it up with warm water and OxyClean, let it soak and wiped it down with a sponge.

We're still talking about brew equipment here, right?

I've got a faucet similar to this one on the kitchen sink:



A 5 gallon bucket will fit underneath the arc of the faucet. For things that don't fit in the sink, I lay them sideways on the counter and the business end of the faucet extends so I can hose things out. Works fine as long as I'm careful about splashing.

I just threw on an adjustable massager in my shower. I just remove the head and use the line to fill carboys, kegs, pots for cleaning.
I also put down a plastic mat on my shower floor to keep the kegs from marking up the tub, and as an extra cushion in case a glass carboy slips in my hands.
