Kegerator Draft Line Cleaning Options! + Limited Time DEAL

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.

How Often Should I Clean My Beer 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 to clean home kegerator beer lines every 1 to 2 months.


Limited Time Deal:

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.

Stacking Deals! KegLand Nukatap FLOW CONTROL Stainless Steel Faucet

Nuka Tap Stainless Steel Flow Control Faucet

Nuka Tap Stainless Steel Flow Control Faucet

More Info

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

The NukaTap Flow Control faucet features a forward sealing design with flow control. Forward-sealing faucets keep beer behind the sealing valve, making cleaning much easier. It also reduces off flavors spoiling the beer during the pour. Flow control allows the ability to set flow and

balance at the faucet head allowing you to adjust for all levels of carbonation without the worry of adjusting the Co2 regulator.

This faucet is similar to the Intertap line of faucets, but with better laminar flow and reduced first pour foam due to its lower thermal mass. The NukaTap works with all Intertap accessories with the exception of the self-closing spring. The NukaTap FC uses a specially designed self-closing spring.

  • stainless steel
  • TPV Shuttle
  • EPDM O-Rings
  • SS Body with Chrome finish

 

Flow control faucets feature a built in flow compensator that allows you to adjust the resistance your faucet is exerting.  That means less tubing and potentially less foaming and wasted beer. The compensation feature also makes it easier to serve higher carbonation beers as you can set the faucet to provide resistance to offset the increased pressure needed to store and serve these beers at higher pressures.  Instead of replacing your beer line with ever increasing lengths of tubing, you simply turn a knob to increase resistance.

Lockdown Silica Gel with Rechargeable Beads [Kegerator Condensation]

Lockdown Silica Gel with Rechargeable Beads, Compact Design and Various Sizes for Vault Humidity Control and Rust Prevention

Lockdown Silica Gel with Rechargeable Beads, Compact Design and Various Sizes for Vault Humidity Control and Rust Prevention

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • DIMENSIONS: 4.5" diameter x 6.5" H
  • SPECS: Protects up to 57 cubic feet
  • EASE OF USE: Crystals change color once fully saturated and can be easily recharged in the oven
  • RELIABLE: Prevents condensation, mildew and rust by absorbing moisture from the air
  • CONVENIENT: Avaliable in various shapes, sizes and mounting options to ensure your space is protected from unwanted humidity
  • GUARANTEED: This product is covered by a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty. For questions or warranty contact us at support@lockdown.com


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.

 

This is similar in concept to the Eva Dry E-500 – Hands on Review.  It contains desiccant material that absorbs moisture (in places like your kegerator).  The desiccant beads change colors as this takes place to let you know when the unit needs to be recharged.  This one differs from most of the models that we’ve featured on Homebrew Finds because instead of plugging in to drive off accumulated moisture you heat the Lockdown in the oven to recharge.

Vevor Two Pressure CO2 Regulator – multiple carbonation levels and more

VEVOR CO2 Regulator Gauge with 0-60PSI, Heavy Duty CO2 Gauge Gas System, Draft Beer Regulator with Check Valve, Adjustable Pressure Regulator for Draft Beer Homebrew (Triple Gauge Regulator)

VEVOR CO2 Regulator Gauge with 0-60PSI, Heavy Duty CO2 Gauge Gas System, Draft Beer Regulator with Check Valve, Adjustable Pressure Regulator for Draft Beer Homebrew (Triple Gauge Regulator)

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • Adjustable Range: The pressure range of the gas meter is adjustable from 0 to 60 PSI, allowing you to freely adjust the intake pressure of carbon dioxide gas, thus controlling the foaming texture of beer and ensuring that the beer-making process and results meet your needs and expectations.
  • Pressure Stability: The pressure relief valve autonomously adjusts the pressure to release at 65 PSI, preventing pressure relief under low pressure. This detail design ensures the quality and quantity of the brewed beer, without being affected by pressure issues.
  • Leak-proof: The gas meter comes with gaskets and clamps, both of which help you secure the gas meter to the beer keg and prevent gas leakage. This design guarantees the stability and reliability of the gas meter.
  • Versatile Compatibility: The carbon dioxide gas meter interface standard is CGA320, compatible with hose calibers of 8mm, making it compatible with various beer kegs. The installation is simple and quick, making your beer-making process more convenient.
  • Backflow Prevention: The gas meter is equipped with a check valve to prevent beer from flowing back due to pressure issues. This design ensures a smoother and more stable beer-making process while also maintaining the cleanliness of the beer keg.

 

Why a two pressure regulator?  A two pressure regulator gives you the ability to keep kegs at different pressures.  This is a requirement to maintain two distinct carbonation levels.  It’s also handy if you want to force carbonate a keg more quickly, at a higher pressure, while maintaining your standard serving pressure on a keg that’s already being served or if you want to have a utility line for purging kegs and such.

KegLand Series X Kegerator – on sale for $679.99 + free delivery

KegLand Series X.1 Kegerator

KegLand Series X.1 Kegerator

More Info

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

The new  stainless series X.1 improves on the KegLand Series X Kegerator:

• 10% more power efficient

• 15% faster cooling and better cooling in climates as hot as 90° F.

• Thicker walls for improved insulation

• New LED door activated interior light

• Premium Stainless Steel Top / Side Panels

• 20″ long stainless drip tray accomodates all towers including the 4 Faucet T Tower

And of course it has all the features that made the original Series X Kegerator great:

• Wide 26° to 82° F Range

• Holds four Cornelius style homebrew kegs (8½” diameter)

• Holds three 1/6 Barrel Commercial Sankey Kegs (9 3/16″ diameter)

• Latest Nukatap Faucets with all tower options

• Easy to connect Duotight fittings as well as EvaBarrier beer & gas tubing included with all towers

• Tower Cooling Fan with front panel switch

• Converts to a Fermentation Chamber and includes a removeable wire shelf

• Includes item Q62 C02 Regulator with EvaBarrier compatible outlet

• Includes item Z46 5 pound C02 cylinder holder that mounts on the back of the unit if desired

• 4 Caster wheels (2 front locking, and 2 rear free spinning), or use the included adjustable legs

• One Year Warranty (and we stock all vital spare parts in case you need them after the warranty period)

Cold does not rise. You will find that a beer tower elevated above a refrigerator will always remain warmer than the refrigerator, resulting in initial pours from the kegerator that are warm and foamy, followed by colder pours once you have dispensed a beer or two. At home this is a real problem, unless you pour beers in quick succession. A tower cooling fan is standard equipment, with a fan on/off switch on the front digital control panel.

The beauty of the KegLand Series X.1 is the extended range thermostat included. Unlike kegerators with standard 30° to 50° temperature ranges, the Series X.1 can be adjusted easily with the front panel digital display from 26° to 82° F (ambient temperature permitting), which means you can also use your kegerator as a fermentation chamber for ales in summer, a small refrigerator for food items, or even a wine cellar. A removeable wire shelf is included in case you want to do this.  Keep in mind the unit only cools, and does not heat, and a temperature of say 65 degrees F. is only possible if the temperature outside the kegerator is 65 degrees or warmer.

The all stainless drip tray rests on top of the unit, and can be removed for easy cleaning. This simple two piece design cleans up quick in your sink, and eliminates the need to clean a sticky drip tray on the unit. It is 20″ long, long enough for all tower options including the 4 faucet T tower.

Included with all models are a a C02 bottle mounting bracket, our item Q62 Gas Regulator, and integral tower cooling fan.  You will need to provide a flat bottom 5 pound C02 cylinder (available at welding supply stores and fire extingisher service firms). You select the beer tower/faucet option that is right for you, or order the base unit without a tower if you already have one.

Setup is easy with Duotight connections included for everything from the faucet shanks to the optional regulator. These make it easy to connect and disconnect gas and beer lines, and eliminate the need for hose clamps. As noted below, you will need additional parts depending on how many faucets you get, and if you want to dispense home brew ball lock kegs ora commercial sanke kegs.

Please note: These all stainless units may arrive with very small cosmetic blemishes, scratches or dents incured during manufacturing and shipping which are unavoidable.  Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that your unit will not have any of the above mentioned blemishes. We  guarantee the cooling performance of the unit, and will repair or replace any unit at our discretion if it is damaged during shipping.

Important Installation Note: Series X.1 kegerators need 4″ of clearance on both sides and the back of the unit when installing so they do not overheat. This model cannot be installed flush into a countertop with no side clearance like a dishwasher. The side walls have radiators inside that dissipate heat, and they cannot be blocked. These are designed for indoor use, and a maximum ambient temperature of 90° F. or less.

Note: The Four Faucet Tower options should only be considered if you are dispensing home brew kegs, as this unit only holds three five gallon sankey commercial kegs.

Dimensions:

24″ wide

27″ deep, 32″ with C02 Bottle Mounted on back

33.5″ tall (just the box, no drip tray, caster wheels, tower, or chrome guard rail)

35″ tall (with caster wheels but no drip tray, tower, or chrome guard rail)

52″ tall with caster wheels and tower

Internal Dimensions:

19.4″ wide

16″ deep

28.25″ tall

Power Consumption:

85 watts, 1.6 amps, runs on 110 volts.

How many kegs will fit?

Homebrew:

5 Gallon 8½” diameter Ball Lock or Pin Lock  Cornelius Keg – 4 ( or 2 Ball Lock and one 1/6 barrel Sankey keg)

2.5 Gallon 8½” diameter Cornelius Keg – 4

Inkbird ITC-308 WiFi Digital Dual Stage Temp Controller

ITC-308 Dual Stage, Pre-Wired Digital Temperature Controller with WI-FI by Inkbird

ITC-308 Dual Stage, Pre-Wired Digital Temperature Controller with WI-FI by Inkbird

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • WIFI smart controller: Supports both IOS and Android; WIFI connection supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with INKBIRD APP to control the temperature remotely
  • Dual Relay Outputs: the controller will turn on/off refrigeration and heating equipment as conditions change
  • High and Low-Temperature Alarm: The controller will alarm when the temperature reaches the preset temperatures or the sensor experiences a malfunction
  • Convenient Design: Plug-n-play, easy to use; support Celsius or Fahrenheit reading, as well as temperature calibration
  • Maximum output load: 1100 W (110 V)
  • Calibration and Compressor Delay: Supports temperature calibration and compressor delay which can protect your refrigeration

 

This controller can control both a heating and cooling device.  Alternatively, it can control a heating or a cooling device.

In my opinion the original ITC-308 was and is a game changer as far as homebrew temp controllers.  In comparison to available controllers available at the time the ITC-308 was released, it offered loads more features, including dual stage control, for a fraction of the price.  Game changer!  The addition of Wi-Fi control and monitoring to this great controller has made a great temp controller even better.  Check out our Hands on Review of the ITC-308.  That includes a section on the WiFi version.

Checking for Draft System CO2 Leaks – Using The Pressure Gauge Method

check for co2 leaks

For the most part, checking for keg liquid and CO2 leaks is pretty straightforward.  Is beer leaking?  Then you’ve got a liquid leak.  Is there six inches of beer in your kegerator?  That one’s really easy to spot.  If beer is shooting out like a geyser, you’ve got a… fast leak. 🙂

For kegerator CO2 leaks, it’s a generally a little more work, but still pretty easy… spray everything with Star San solution (diluted of course) and look for bubbles.
