Beer in my regulator.

[AidanMatthews]

Hey guys i made the dumb mistake of getting beer in my regulator.

Now im reading forums saying i could get infections from it.

What should i do cleaning wise....
The regulator has a hole in which the beer came out of so i dont think its stuck in there.

I turned up the pressure and blasted it back out the gass line.

I've done it before (I now have a no-return valve to stop it happening again.)

Most of the beer may have flushed out, but it's unlikely that there's no beer at all left in there.

I called Ross at Craftbrewer, where I got my reg from, and got instructions and a seal replacement kit (only cost around $10, from memory.)

I have a Micromatic regulator and opening it up to replace the seals was dead easy. Took probably 10 minutes of my day.

Well i sprayed sanitiser in the hole and blasted it back out the gas line, if anything i might replace the gas line. No probs with pressure gauge.

It's all well and good to conduct your own regulator maintenance. I personally would not. Unless you're a licensed professional, doing any kind of self maintenance on your regulator will no doubt void any warranty, and maybe even any life insurance you might have should something happen.

Just sayin...
