The blog is up! I have constructed a prototype line cleaner for a standard (Sankey) coupler. See my blog (in progress) showing the build: http://beerlinecleaner.wordpress.com.

Here are the steps to use:
1) Turn off CO2, remove coupler from empty keg
2) Attach coupler to line cleaner
3) Turn on CO2, open tap until cleaner is depleted; turn off CO2
4) Attach coupler to new keg, turn on CO2
5) Dispose of ~1 cup of beer, then use as expected.

Thoughts?

I am in the process of building the same rig–but for a standard sankey coupler. As soon as I am done, I will post links to the photos and the technique that I am using to assemble. Stay tuned! -pdj

Genius… thank you! Been doing a terrible job keeping my kegorator lines clean because cleaning them with the cheap kit that came with it was such a pain.

I love you man…

That is brilliant! Looks like it would do a great job on any home system. You could also build a circulation pump using a pond pump and then circulate some PBW through it.

Great idea, thanks

I am looking for the manufacturer of a cleaner/sanitizer called Aseptox. Does anyone know where it comes from and please do not say Winexperts. I am looking for the MSDS for it

Hey, T-Mac;
I was in Princess Auto today, (they are purveyors of Chinese knock off tools and random surplus stuff), and almost fainted when I saw the stack of Pepsi style (pin lock) Corny’s they had. And the best part; they were $25 each!! I just had to buy two.
I asked the woman at the cash if this was a ‘location specific’ item (I’m in Kingston ON), and she checked and said, “No, it appears that other locations have them as well” The only store that didn’t appear to have any was Ottawa. There is a guy in Ottawa selling Cornys on Craigslist and Kijiji, so I suspect he’s snagged them all.
I paid $50 each in the past for them, so this is a sweet deal!

Hey Ronblog! Thanks for posting this great bit of info! I built my kegerator and it was a lot of fun! Picked up the kit from Simgo in Mississauga, Ontario (www.simgo.com) and fridge from Lowe’s. I’ve been using BStore kegs (sanke connection) but I wanted to “homebrew” instead so I’ve been searching for corny kegs. B-Store kegs are great but a little expensive (especially right now). Last week I picked up 3 corny’s from R. D. Strickland, and Bob was great to deal with. Though, Bob said he’s running low. If you’re interested, contact him soon to make sure you get yours. The ones he has are the ol’ Coke containers (pin lock).

Thanks again for the great posting – been very helpful!

Cheers!
