How To Clean a Keg

In this tutorial, we show you how to clean a keg used for beer and homebrewing. If you're a homebrewer, this is a very important process to know because you can't make good beer with dirty equipment. This process involves PBW cleaner (or the oxygen-based cleaner of your choice), hot water, a long pipe cleaner, and safety gloves. We give you a step-by-step walkthrough in this video so you can easily clean your own kegs of any size at home. We also show you how to remove parts from your keg, like the liquid and gas posts, and clean those as well. It's important to clean every single part of your keg, not just the hollow inside. The most essential part of this cleaning process is PBW (Powdered Brewery Wash) which is a cleaning product specifically for homebrewing applications. It is also important to remember the difference between cleaning and sanitizing, make sure to watch until the end to learn why both of these steps are important. Check out the resources below for brewing equipment, PBW, and Water Retention Mats.

Thank you for taking time away from "it's always Sunny in Philadelphia" teach us brewing stuff

[@Normanskie]

You confused me there when you said heat to 150 degrees when water boils at 100 degrees, had to have little think then.

[@jeffgrey1566]

Lye with hot water is cheaper and more effective/cheaper. Please use PPE when using it.

I can see this video is from a couple of years ago but my PBW containing suggests leaving over night vs 5mins or so suggested in the video. Any advice I how long you need to leave it soaking?

[@douglasbasso7093]

Have you ever been in a storm Wally?

[@wicked23s]

where can you get that wrench?

[@gregford7277]

how do you get rinse out the PBW out of the dip tube?

[@scottonthetrail48]

Watching this video I saw you had "mosaic mistake" on tap. Is that a recipe you have a video on? I'm so intrigued by the name

[@barrycranston5122]

I keep confusing you with Genus Brewing, both are very good.

[@andyracer20]

Nice video, soundtrack is horrible

[@largemarge1603]

After scrubbing all parts with Oxy, we mount an exit hose to the fluid side, pressurize the gas side, then, while vigorously shaking the keg, rinse with several re-fills of RO water.

This is probably a dumb question but what gloves do you use? Started looking at heatproof gloves then saw some are food prep grade. Unsure if that's a load of rubbish or not.

[@frank6190]

When did the guy from "its always sunny" start brewing?

[@fdk7014]

It is also very much recommended to use eye protection when doing this.

[@richardcroussette5635]

Were to go to see the mats use use . Thanks

[@nicholasbourcier]

I typical just just some dish soap and rinse it out very verll then i sanitize with starsan. but this is very informative!

[@JamesConnellyConnellyPhoto]

What size wrench is that .... details please

[@BuzzKillingtonism]

Would Starsan be enough for sanitizing the keg

[@EDUKASIESENSIAL]

How often do u clean your keg?

[@tonymedina9339]

That's a good way to do it too, but I just take mine to work and run it in our can washing station. Can do 9 at a time 😁
