From HBF: 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.

Related Top Post: Fun with Carbonation Caps!

Some carbonation cap 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. As of this posting, the product page says this works with both liquid and ball lock posts. Check the product description for current specs.

PBW is an oxygen based cleaner, much like Oxiclean, but it contains some other ingredients including including surfactants and a chelating agent. These make PBW more effective than oxygen based cleaner alone. Surfactants lower the surface tension of water. That aids the process of removing soils.

Oxiclean Versatile Free (and other percarbonate cleaners) are popular homebrew cleansers. One way to super oxi cleaners is to add a surfactant like TSP.

The general ratio that’s floating around is 30% TSP and 70% Oxiclean. Use 1 oz by weight of that mixture per gallon. So, for one gallon that would be .3 oz TSP and .7 oz Oxiclean.

Reminder: Time to Clean Beer Lines + Limited Time DEAL

About this time every month we post a reminder to clean beer lines. This helps if you clean monthly or everything other month.

Clean kegerator lines are a key part of serving delicious beer. Bacteria and mineral build in lines can cause off flavors, quick loss of head, under-carbonated beer due to rapid co2 loss and lack of legs forming on the inside of your beer glass.

Limited Time Deal on Ball Lock Cleaning Jumpers:

Helps you clean multiple lines at the same time…

Valuebrew is offering a pack of two jumpers and 25 replacement o-rings for $32.97. Coupon code JUMP discounts the combo by a whopping 32%.

Double Jumper Special! < note that you must use this link along with coupon code JUMP to get the deal, the standard product will not get you the discount

Valuebrew’s jumper is unique because of the custom color, food grade o-rings and because … it works with both liquid and ball lock jumpers.

How Often Should You Clean Lines?

The Draught Quality Beer Manual says… every two weeks.

That recommendation is for a commercial operation. What about homebrewers? We serve far fewer beer on our kegerators, but on the other hand, we can have been on tap and in lines 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Considering all of this, my recommendation is every 1 to 2 months.

How to get a keg ready for first use? New Keg Cleaning and Prep

I’ve had the go-to post on rebuilding and reconditioning kegs for a long time now. My procedure is thorough and produces better looking and better functioning kegs.

New kegs require some special treatment too. Dirt, oils and chemicals from the manufacturing process need to be thoroughly cleaned before use. Here’s a walkthrough to help you ready your brand new keg.

Limited Time Deal on PBW

Five Star P.B.W. Cleanser – 4 Pounds – affiliate link, note that multiple variations of this product may be available, as such a different version may appear at this link

Preparing New Homebrew Kegs for First Use

Hey… here’s a new keg! In this case it’s a 2.5 gallon single handle AMCYL ball lock keg – More AMCYL kegs – Hands on Review

Strong PBW Soak

PBW is my go-to for homebrew cleansing. I’ll admit here… typically I underdose PBW. I eyeball it and most of the time, I use less than the directions call for. That changes when it comes to a brand new keg. For new keg prep I like to prepare a very strong solution. Somewhere around double strength.
