Kegerator newb cleaning question

[flexabull]

Any tips for cleaning lines and what not? Any kits that help make this process quicker and easier? I have a Sankey setup.

Thanks!

I usually just run a gallon of PBW and hot water through the lines and then follow it up with another gallon of starsan solution.

Do you use one of those pumps I'm seeing on Amazon?

Get a cheap AF sanke coupler and take all the balls and plastic pieces out of it. Depressurize a keg, then use the coupler with a funnel on top to fill it up with water and line cleaner. After you blow a keg, hook up your cleaner keg, pull the tap till it runs clear, stop it, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, pull again. Then hook up your new beer and dump the first 2 pints. If you clean the lines every time you never have to worry about it.

Total cost of eating the keg deposit and a cheap coupler is probably 50-60 bucks.

I just use an empty (extra) keg and run it via co2. Not sure if this is an option for you though.
