How to clean and sanitize your corny kegs EASILY
You want to clean your keg thoroughly and effective to prevent spoilage or risking a contamination? But it should be also easy? Be sure to watch this video!
Servus and welcome back to Dave's Hopfenstube! 🍻
In this video I am going to show you how to clean and sanitize youre ball lock / corny kegs as well as iKegger kegs and growlers. For this method you don't even need a keg washer, just some alkaline / caustic cleaner (PBW / Oxi Clean / Enzybrew / dishwasher powder), Star San, a wrench and a little CO2 tank (which you probably already have).
Also, I introduce you to a unique cleaning concept called "Der Sinnersche Kreis".
If you want to find more about iKegger and maybe even order some for yourself, get 10% off your order with the code: 10%malzundhopfen at www.ikegger.com or www.ikegger.eu
As always, if you have anymore feedback, let me know in the comments!
Prost from Nürnberg 🍻

Yes, fermenting in a keg would be a great video 👍

Sure buddy, too easy. Love that method so much. In fact, I still use it when my unitanks are filled.
Excellent video. Was a great help when starting out

Right, I hope I made that clear in the video. But depending on the brewery, they don't always use hot caustic. I worked in a few and their CIP system (if they even had one, sometimes it was just a manual CIP with a pump and the caustic) sometimes doesn't allow a hot caustic cleaning. With that being said, it is of course way more effective at around 60°C / 150f, also in regard to the Sinnerscher Kreis.
