Ahh about a table spoon in 5 liters of tap hot water.
Cleanes my kegs out like new.
I hook it up the the beer line and pump it through...... let it sit for 10 Min and run a bit more through. When it comes out clear after a couple pours its done.
Full hot water rinse after and hook back up to the keg of beer.
cheers
I've had a ******* problem with my taps moulding over.. obviously, the room where my kegging fridge resides is a mold haven (there are vines growing between the ceiling and roof - long story).. but, there's absolutely zero mould on the walls, floor or otherwise.. however, the shit gunks up in my taps straight away.. hoping the summer heat cleans up the situation.
I recently ran boiling pbw thru the lines/tap for a minute or two, capped it with one of those rubber end plug things, tap on again spitting to ensure all full. Left the shit for two days. Ran another keg of hot PBW behind it to clear the lines, tap.. and yep, out came tons of green gunk then ran clear. BUT, to be on the safe side I removed and quickly tore down the taps.. sure enough tons of mould still inside the shank and rectangular fitting. Took a good scrub with brush and warm soapy water, ear buds to confirm clean, back to PBW and flush the full system for several minutes with saniclean.
Point is, nothing beats a full tear down, thorough clean and reassembly. Pity I'm doing it every couple of weeks now.
In interim, after pulling every beer I shoot the hell out of the tap, up in, in the front, etc. with diluted iodopor then quickly wrap with a fresh piece of cling film. Now treating my taps like a food product (and deservedly so).
PITA and after my third dubbel tonight nearly spaced the cling film and let her rip.. will take some getting used to.
Will report back if this is at all effective, in two weeks or so at next tear down.

i realise this thread is all about "regular" cleaning where I'm chasing a problem.. but my point stands nothing beats a full tear down.. obviously PBW, etc. is in order for flushing of lines.
