Keg and Fermenter Cleaner

thingiverse

I use this setup to clean my kegs and fermenters. The general idea behind this is that the suspected kegs and fermenters are cleaned by means of a pump with the cleaning solution, rinsing solution and disinfectant solution. Since the solution is continuously pumped into the component to be cleaned and then runs back into the bucket, a smaller amount of cleaner is required. Here approx. 6-10 liters. Furthermore, the effort required for cleaning is reduced, since the connections in particular no longer have to be unscrewed, but instead can also be flushed through and thus cleaned via the 2 lines together with the connections. Separate components can be placed in the bucket. *Cleaning procedure:* 1. Pre-rinsing of kegs and fermenters (optional). 2. Cleaning of the vessels e.g. with PBW 3. Rinsing with fresh water 4. Disinfection of the vessels e.g. StarSan After cleaning, all components can be stored in the bucket. This is inspired by the [Bucket Blaster](https://mashcamp.shop/shop/zapfanlagen-und-zubehoer/zapfanlagen-zapfanlagen-und-zubehoer-2/bucket-blaster-keg-reiniger-waschkit-fuer-fermenter/) *You will need:* * [1x hygger Aquarium Pump, 4000L/H 90W ](https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08R3QX176/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1) * [2m M16 Electrical Installation Pipe](https://www.amazon.de/Elektrorohr-Stangenrohr-Leerrohr-Installationsrohr-ARLI/dp/B07J3LB5CF/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=elektroinstallationsrohr+m16&qid=1620900595&s=diy&sr=1-1) I used 4x32 cm for the legs and 40 cm for the water Pipe. The length of the legs and water pipe can varry depending on the bucket and Pump used. * [1x 30l Bucket with Lid](https://www.amazon.de/Deckel-Transparent-Kunststoffeimer-Lebensmittelecht-Hochwertiger/dp/B08573VKNW/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=20l%2Beimer%2Bmit%2Bdeckel&qid=1620900705&sr=8-2-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyTTZaREU0RkMzWkMxJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzg4MDk3MkFOSFcyNTZDTVBMTCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODc1NDg4S0k4Mkg1WTI2VFY1JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1) * [2x Duotight Fittings](https://www.amazon.de/ZXC-Duotight-Kupplungen-anzupassen-Tap-Schafte/dp/B08XY3VF7V/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=duotight&qid=1620900773&sr=8-3) * 1m Beerline * 2 Keg Connector (in my case Ball Lock Connector with Duotight Fittings) For the future, I also plan to build a device for cleaning bottles on this basis.
