Old Dog....New Tricks

[Count Pierre]

New to the Forum, but not to Brewing.

However, I have, after 40 odd years of bottling, JUST moved into Kegging.

What a revelation that was!! I now spend most of the time in my garage.

I do have a query, though. I have six x 19L kegs,& I tend to keep them full. That means that I don't have an empty keg to clean out my line.

Is there any other way of cleaning the line without using the keg, or do I just have to do it before I keg up?

I use a bastardised 2L garden sprayer.
Just rethreaded the outlet of the sprayer with an out post.
Mix up some cleaner, pump it up, connect the line and open the tap.
Easy.
I got the idea off these very forums. Do a search and your bound to find a photo or how to thread.

P.S. Welcome!
