Sanitised Lines

[Budron]

Do'h. I just kegged my first beer...........but forgot to sanitise my lines and tap.

I only have the 1 keg ATM.

Any ideas short of taking all the disconnects off and pouring the sanitiser through using gravity? Is there anything else I could pressurise to pump the sanitiser through?

Cheers,

Budron.

Sammus, do you at least clean your lines and taps?

When my keg finishes, and I clean it out, I pour in a couple of litres of boiling water and then run it through the line and tap, this does a great job at cleaning for the most part, and I have a routine to clean out the tap say every 3 months or so by pulling it apart completely and cleaning it.

Doing it this way, I have never had an infection in my beers yet, the boiling water does wonders at stripping sugars out from your taps.

cheers,

not really for lines... I figure the new beer pushes the old beer out. I use the front sealing perlick taps, and I spray a squirt of sanitiser up the spout after use to rinse the beer out. Beyond that I took em apart for a clean after 18 months of use and they were spotless *shrugs*
