In this tutorial video, we show you how to clean fittings and tap lines that are used for serving beer at home using a very quick method. Clean and sterile equipment is essential to making and serving good homebrew beer. If you ever leave a picnic tap line sitting around with beer in it, follow these simple steps to learn how to clean it out and make it ready to serve beer for friends, family, and yourself. The most essential part of this process is a soft pipe cleaner brush that isn't too brittle. Fortunately, tap line is so cheap that it's sometimes best to just buy more than spend time cleaning out old beer. Check out the resources below for brewing equipment and an informative article that teaches you how to clean your draft lines for a home kegerator setup.

FYI: The brush we used was a soft bristle brush bought from Kegworks for cleaning tap lines. Also, we generally throw lines and fittings like this in a kettle with PBW and let it soak, but as we mentioned in the video, we needed to use the line to serve some beer ASAP. Also, as we mentioned, tap line is cheap and it's generally best to replace it if possible.

If there weren't memes every 15 seconds I could try to watch the whole video.

They should remove it, upload it without the random clips. This shouldn't be longer than a minute and a half tops.

Harsh brush on soft material, I thought that was a big no-no in the brewing world. Scratching the material and creating a million little crevices for bacteria to hide in

@ElaborateTrolling 4 года назад

That's not a hard brush

@ElaborateTrolling 4 года назад

I have the same one

@240sxrb26gt28 4 года назад

A lot of the comments point out the right stuff. Don't use brush on soft tubing. If anything, you're also using too little or too wide tubing on your picnic set for what's best. In addition, use the formulated color-changing cleaner. It's both caustic and chlorinated, and indicates when the lines are surface-clean. Star san doesn't sterilize; it doesn't even disinfect, it just sanitizes.

@ClawhammerSupply 4 года назад

See pinned comment at top regarding brush. It's a soft brush for keg tubing purchased from a keg supply company. Shouldn't hurt it. Also, color changing cleaner sounds like a good idea. What brand do you recommend?

@eliten0Ob 4 года назад

@@ClawhammerSupply Fair enough with the brush. Still don't recommend it, as it lowers the lifetime of the beer line, or limits it to burst usage. On the plus side, you did open the tap and the disconnect, and got the tip of the tubing! For beer line cleaner, as long as it's alkaline, chlorinated and got the purple/green color action going, you're good to go. I have both a local supplier as well as a british version in my plant (chemisphere).

A tip on how to reduce the amount of manual cleaning: use one of your pumps to recirculate the cleaning solution through the line. If you experience a build up of gunk you can look for rubber balls that you insert on one end and then push through with the pump. Unlike the brush there's absolutely no metal that could pinch into the material :)

So does this mean more videos coming???

@kamuirsx 4 года назад

Definitely too many memes. Don't use the pipe cleaner. Soak it in PBW or OxiClean Free. Honestly, if you don't like spending as much on OxiClean Free, go to Dollar General and get their version of OxiClean. It's like $3 or 4 and works great on everything. Glad you guys are back. I hope things are still going well.

Love your videos, not sure why there's so much hate in the comments right now. I'm on my 6th batch since discovering your vids and giving home brewing a go :D

@XkannsenX 4 года назад

I just rince a lot before it's dry and sanitize with oxi. I never had any issue....

@ModernGameChangers 4 года назад

Someone correct me if I am wrong but you shouldn't need to use the pipe cleaner. As long as the PBW is in contact with the surface it should be able to break down any organic matter, and using abrasive things would actually make that more difficult. If you have a hot PBW solution I just let everything soak for an hour or so, then rinse several times with equally hot water. It has always worked for me. Not saying this is wrong to do, but I think you might be able to save some effort.

@MrKalenjohnson 4 года назад

Yep, I wouldn't use a brush like that on soft plastic. Let it soak in PBW for an hour should take clean it just fine....

Sterilise?

@Schmook15 4 года назад

Starsan is used to SANITIZE.. Not sterilize... Big difference!

@ModernGameChangers 4 года назад

Are you sure? The use of PBW should be for sanitization i.e. removing the media in which bacteria can form. And Starsan is to sterilize i.e. to kill any existing bacteria.

@Schmook15 4 года назад

@@ModernGameChangers sanitizing is the removal of contaminants that could grow bacteria, while sterilizing is the complete destruction of bacteria

@Schmook15 4 года назад

@@ModernGameChangers pbw eats away organic matter and cleans your equipment, star san then sanitizes said equipment prohibiting growth of more bacteria

@ElaborateTrolling 4 года назад

Thanks, I guess I have been getting that wrong for years. I would always say clean and sterilise. I guess I have been using the word sterile wrong too... Or you are wrong.... I'll Google it later...

@ClawhammerSupply 4 года назад

Yes, dude, "sterilize" is not the proper nomenclature. It's "sanitize." My bad.

Can't tell if you are very fit person or wearing smaller than normal shirts for your size? I deleted this several times didn't want to hurt your feelings. Some people can't take a elbow rub/harmless joke. Anyway you look good for your age.
