first setup was 13 kegs three still full of beer and the other kegs just had the dregs
i rinsed 10 of the kegs with water what should i do with them befor i use them??
do you think i should try the 3 kegs that some other guy brewed?
my lines and taps and reg have all been disconected so not sure how i should clean them all befor i use them a little help please

im picking up my second setp up in 2weeks which is another 6 kegs gas bottle frige and tap what how should i clean it all?

Crikey did you win the H.B . lottery or what ,what sort of kegs are they ? If you search through threads in this forum you will find your answers.
asume they are post mix kegs ,if they havnt been in use for some time i would re kit (seals posts,lines)and give em a good clean with some type of sanitiser /steriliser ,all available on line at many h.b. shops near you.Sure many on this site will recommend a good shop near you.
What do you plan to do with so many kegs if i was closer i would buy a few from you ,if you note there is a thread on this forum were you can post gear for sale.think you might become a popular chap in your area.Good luck to you .
Wrighty.

yeh i do feel very lucky to find both kits im looking i will have about 20 kegs
i have 4 fridges and hoping to have from 5 to 10 tap of different brews
if it gets to much i might sell some of them the biggest problem i will have is getting the disconnects cause all the kegs are pin lock and i need to make a tool to unscrew them to do the seals as well
and yes they are all post mix kegs
