Announcing: Kegland Rotary Spray Head!

KegLand Spray Head

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Make cleaning your electric brewery easier with the Low Volume CIP Spray rotor. A low-flow spray head for low voltage pumps from 6w to 25w. The perfect spray head for 5 and 10 gallon vessels, including Mash & Boil with Pump and Brewzilla. The red cleaning unit features 1/2″ straight threads and attaches to the included 1/2″ hose barb with nut. Functions a bit like a keg washer – just turn it on and let it spin for 15 minutes or so with a suitable cleanser like Brewer’s Edge Cleanser or Kemphos 2001. Unlike simple rinsing, this unit really deep cleans the impossible to visually inspect interior plumbing of your brewery.

What makes it even more effective is you can turn the heat on your electric brewery up to say 160 degrees F, and the splashing cleanser will be more effective than at room temperature.

Clean your Brewzilla or Mash & Boil with Pump. If you have a Brewzilla, watch the video below for setup instructions.

If you have a Mash & Boil or Grainfather, you will also need to order 1′ of our item J46 Silicone Tubing, as this tighter tubing is needed to securely attach the Spray Rotor to the Mash & Boil or Grainfather Recirculation Arm.

Related: About CIP Spray Balls

CIP (Clean in Place) Spray Balls are generally used for vessels that are too large to move. Since they’re too large to move you… clean them in place. If you have a larger setup, you could incorporate these into your system or routine to help clean your vessels more easily.

Other possible homebrew applications: A CIP ball could be as part of a recirculating or sparging setup or as part of a keg or carboy cleaning setup. I use a (different model) rotary spray ball with my Mark II Keg and Carboy Cleaner. See: Mark II Keg and Carboy Washer Mod – SS CIP Spray Ball. Make sure the components you use are compatible and rated for your intended application. Contact manufacturer with questions about suitability or a specific application. Always read and follow manufacturer directions.

Applications:

PET Bottles as Growlers: These are generally intended to convert 1L and 2L bottles to growlers. Fill up a 1L or 2L PET bottle with your favorite homebrew. Put one of these on (purge the headspace by squeezing if you want to) and then pressurize for transport. This should help to reduce oxygen pickup and maintain carbonation levels.
Fine tune or rapidly carbonate beer: You can also use this cap to rapidly carbonate beer. Same process as for transport, just set your regulator to the proper pressure and shake or agitate the PET bottle to help introduce CO2. Or hook it up to CO2 and let it sit in you kegerator.
Draft Line Cleaning Projects: I have developed three draft line cleaning projects using similar SS Caps – Build A Recirculating Draft Line Cleaning Pump | Mark II Keg and Carboy Cleaner Draft Line Cleaning Pump Conversion | Building a Simple Ball Lock Draft Line Flushing Setup
Related Top Post: Fun with Carbonation Caps!

One of the questions that arises on these type of carb caps, is… does it work with both liquid and gas posts? Some models are universal fit and some work only with gas posts. For draft line cleaning projects to work well, at least in my opinion, the carb cap that’s used needs to be universal. I’m happy to report that the one I received did indeed work with both liquid and ball lock posts. Check product description for current specs.

Check out my Hands on Review of this great carb cap.

How Often Should You Replace Keg O-Rings? – A Proposed Schedule for Keeping Kegs in Great Shape

How Often Should You Replace Keg O-Rings?

I think you should replace all keg o-rings when you refurbish or obtain a used keg. Generally speaking they are going to be worn out and even if they aren’t they’ll smell of soda pre-mix. Beyond that, who knows what they’re made from. Start with a clean slate.

What about after that? Of course, you could just keep using them until they break, they smell or look horrible or… until you lose a tank of CO2 due to an o-ring related leak. On the other end of the spectrum some people change o-rings every time they keg.

Josh uses carbonator caps to assist with closed transfer racking to kegs.

Announcing: Faucet Rinsing Aid from William’s Brewing

Beer Faucet Rinsing Aid

Beer Faucet Rinsing Aid from William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Have you ever removed a ball lock beer faucet from a keg and tried to rinse it out when it is off the keg? Quite difficult, as you have to press in the center pin of the beer ball lock while siimultaneously opening the faucet and holding it under a running faucet.

This solid stainless device opens any female ball lock fitting, so it stays open when you rinse out your keg faucet. Leave it in place after rinsing and it will facilitate drying. The stainless nut on the end makes it easy to grasp when installing and removing from a ball lock fitting.

This allows you to essentially engage a ball lock QD for the purpose of making cleaning easier.

Beer Faucet Rinsing Aid

OR (More Features, Less Expensive)…

Stainless Steel Ball Lock Jumper from Valuebrew with Food Grade Silicone O-Rings: Allows you to connect multiple ball lock runs to clean multiple lines and taps at the same time. Works with both liquid and gas QDs. That option has the added advantage of having a post on both sides so you can engage a ball lock QD for cleaning AND use it as a jumper. AND they’re cheaper.

30″ Planter Box [cleaning, sanitizing and storing longer items]

For a long time, I have used a wallpaper prep tray to help clean and sanitize longer items like racking canes, auto-siphons, spoons, tubing and beverage out dip tubes. It works great. These also work well for storing longer items.

One downside of those is that they are a bit on the flimsy side. I generally recommend stacking a couple together to give them some extra strength.

These types of planter boxes are another potential option. They are generally sturdier than wallpaper prep trays and they’re about the same length. Since you can get away with one your total cost may end up being less.
