Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
Mine has a screw top. You can fit all kinds of different stuff to clean about anything.

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
Well it’s assembled and works. A 5 gallon is too short with the pump I bought. I have some simple solutions there.
Get the CIP ball. I think that’s the cherry on top. Just waiting for my faucet jumpers to use this on my keezer.

I just connect the taps by putting 1/2" tubing on the nozzles.

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
Cleaned 8 kegs yesterday, worked very well. I have some 1/2" and 3/4" PVC leftover I could donate to the club for if/when this becomes a tech meeting.

Used the keg washer while brewing Saturday. Common practice at my place, kegs sit dirty under pressure until brew day. Then throw on the keg washer.

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
Worked great on my new fermenter too. Washed off crude that had been in there a month. No scrubbing and very clean.

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
That's good to hear, Matt, as I cleaned my Fast Fermenter over the weekend and it's a PITA in the sink. So knowing the keg washer works on it, too is good news.

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
could this be adapted to clean a boil kettle?

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
I would have to measure. I think they came in 6' lengths for a couple bucks each. Easily half of each is still remaining. More than enough to build another if someone were to buy the misc fittings needed.daryl wrote:Thanks Chris.czubak wrote:Cleaned 8 kegs yesterday, worked very well.

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
For me that seems like a hassle since mine is 20 gallons and very wide. If you could use your bathtub I don't see why it wouldn't work with a spray ball and using a larger amount of water/cleaner to cover the pump.bf514921 wrote:could this be adapted to clean a boil kettle?

Then again I also don't see the need to go through this. I rinse and wipe mine down after brew sessions and every few brews run near boiling water through the system (pump, chiller, hoses, kettle)

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
This makes quick work of large kettles. You can scrub quickly in a circle:bf514921 wrote:could this be adapted to clean a boil kettle?

Re: DIY Keg and Carboy Washer
I have 10 gallon with a boil coil, to get it clean usually takes some soaking time with pbw, to get the boil coil scrubbed well
