You work hard, man! Good luck with your business. I’ll stop by if I’m ever in Texas.

Excellent video. As a a fulltime brewer that's starting up their own small scale brewery on the side, this keg cleaning technique is going to come in very handy. Thanks mate!

Love that you're doing this with your pump and two compartment sink. If you made a few modifications (and maybe bought a few things) you could connect the keg once, invert on the sink, do all three steps, then disconnect a clean/sanitized/purged keg.

Ya, just didn't want to spend any money! Fortunately, I now have a REAL keg washer! Keep forgetting to show it in a video

Great work and ingenuity. A few general questions? I dont want to have you give trade secrets so if any of these do that please disregard. What kind of yeast do you use and what is a typical pitch for you? Do you harvest yeast after fermentation? How do you do temperature control on your fermentations? How do you grind your grain? How often do you clean the tap lines? How much CO2 do you use in a month? Sorry for all the A.D.D. questions but I had a little too much coffee today! Thanks, once again very enjoyable and informative content.

#1) There are no trade secrets(at least for me). #2) there is a lot here: - Wyeast 2278 or equivalent(Urquell D-strain). I pitch about 9#s of yeast slurry into each 3bbl batch. - yes I harvest yeast and re-pitch - I have glycol cooled FVs - I use a homebrew mill(need to buy a new one) - Not too frequently since the same beer is on for so long but will clean them all at once probably every few months. - C02 usage depends on production. I have a 50lb tank I get refilled probably once ever other month

I tip my hat to your ingenuity and hard work! I would like to see a video on how you clean your fermenter. Do you use a CIP?

@tanglefootbrewing 11 ай бұрын

Ya, I use CIP so it'd all inclosed, but could do a racking video someday

I love it! Using this setup, have you taken apart a couple kegs to check the thoroughness of the process? With other styles of beers as well?

@tanglefootbrewing 10 ай бұрын

I have in the past with another brewery where our cleaning process was similar. 👍

@ZairahHubert Ай бұрын

Quick question, is it necessary to turn the keg upside down while cleaning? I'm having a little sani left in the bottom and I think it's souring my beer.

@tanglefootbrewing Ай бұрын

@ZairahHubert yes, that's how the liquid touches the inside of the keg. It gets pumped up through the dip tube and sprays out on the bottom(inside of the keg. The liquid falls down the sides of the keg(cleaning it) and then purged from the c02 inlet of the stem.

Well, good information but that background sound track drive me away about a third of the way through.

@tanglefootbrewing 5 ай бұрын

Was it too loud for you? In the early video I definitely had trouble figuring out if the background music was too loud or soft. Either way, thanks for the feedback!

@Doctor_Al 5 ай бұрын

@@tanglefootbrewing Really, it was just a distraction to the point of annoying. If I had to choose soft or loud, I'd say it was soft to the point of almost couldn't hear it ... but it was there like an insect buzzing around. I appreciate that you're trying to make a professional video, but taste in music is just not universal. Now I have to subscribe to see how it all works out ... :)

@user-tf8vn2tw1h 10 ай бұрын

How strong is that pump? I've got a blichmann rip tide and I'm wondering if it's strong enough to effectively clean a quarter sanke keg?

@tanglefootbrewing 10 ай бұрын

It's a Chugger MAX Nano pump which says it's about 0.125HP. Not sure about the blichmann one.

@crookednosejoe 4 ай бұрын

Do you turn off the pump before using CO2 to flush the keg?

@tanglefootbrewing 4 ай бұрын

I think I've done it both ways. Usually not a problem to keep it on while it's primed and valve is closed.

@crookednosejoe 4 ай бұрын

@@tanglefootbrewing maybe im misunderstanding but the CO2 and water/cleaning solution go through the same tube into the liquid connection of the sanke coupler. How is it that you prevent water from going in and only the co2 when ready to purge all liquid

@tanglefootbrewing 4 ай бұрын

@crookednosejoe there is a valve on the pump outlet that cuts off any water/cleaning solution from getting through. The c02 line is after that value on a T fitting. There is a small amount of solution in the line going to the coupler but it gets pushed put with the c02.

@@tanglefootbrewing oh thank you for explaining. This makes mote sense. Very great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to build a station with more valves to be able to do clean/rinse/sanitize all controlled by valves
