Sanitizing a ball lock keg

[icantbejon]

So I'm ready to rack into a keg and I want to ensure I sanitize it properly before I make the move. Any tips from the gallery on best practices for cleaning/sanitizing a keg?

I soak mine with an oxyclean/water solution for a day with the ball lock liquid connector, hose, and tap in the keg. Rinse it all really well and then fill it about half way with sanitizer. Then I hook the keg up to co2 to pressurize it and push some sanitizer solution through the line and tap.

After that I normally have a freshly carb'd keg already in the fridge waiting for my line and tap to be hooked up to it and I let the keg with sanitizer sit in it for a few days/weeks until the next brew is ready!

I keep a keg full of star san for my sanitizing needs. After cleaning, I use a setup similar to this one https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/keg-carboy-washer-yes-another-232895/ I just transfer a little star san to the clean keg through the gas in post. After swishing it around for a minute or so I force it out the liquid post while I purge the keg with CO2.
