Hi All
I have recently finalised my keg setup, ran a brew through the setup - still improving and learning. Still suffering from lots of froth on the first pour, hopefully overcome that problem soon
I was wondering what the best method is now to clean the kegs and lines in preparation of gassing a new brew in the keg?
A good soak with napisan is what i use ( ok I will be the first to admit I am a bit slack about cleaning but am sure not the only one) give them a good rinse and I also hit them with neo pink from time to time.
Also to clean the entire system, kegs line,tap,fermenters.....stop by your local HBS and pick up some sodium hydroxide solution. I have used it a couple times and it does a good job - wicked stuff
If your refering to the first pour of the day you will get more froth, after that it does settle back down as am sure you have noticed, a beer pitcher comes in handy.
not the most experienced kegger here but i havn't had any probs with running bloody hot water through the system, then an Iodophor mix soak for 30 min then run that through the system as well.
