Breaking my kegging virginity this weekend, thankfully I have keg lube.
Have a basic fridge and went out this morning and grabbed a couple of SS intertaps and long shanks
Have drilled a couple of holes in the front of the fridge for the two taps and my questions are:
1) Seems a faucet wrench would be a handy addition for ensuring a tight fit of tap to shank.. so back to the store for one of those i assume?
2) Once the taps are installed, whats the best way to clean them prior to use? Fill a keg with a bit of cleaner and run that the line and the taps? Then some sanitiser?
3) How long should my beer line be? I have 5mm flexmaster line for gas and beer and the height of the taps are only going to be just above the tops of the kegs (~10cm?)
Thanks for any help...
Plan is to keg the beer this afternoon with some gelatine. Either force carb so I can give it a try tomorrow night, or leave it at 10psi as I'm away for work for next week..
