Doc's keg washer

[Guest]

Looks like a cool setup. What size (GPH) pump do you guys use? And how long do you usually let it run?

The pump I'm using is a "Little Giant RS-5" model. 1/6 h.p., 1200 GPH. I don't let it run for any set length of time, I just usually let it go while I'm doing something else. Yesterday I cleaned a Sankey tap, my Beer Gun and a bunch of hoses and bev-out QDs while a keg sat on the washer. By the time I had the other stuff cleaned and put away, the keg was spotless.

Dr. Scott,
What did you use as a flow reducer for your gas-in line quick disconnect on the keg washer? The picture in the gallery looks like a plastic plug, BUT I cant tell what kind. I know there's a joke there somewhere...

It is a plastic tube. Something I had laying around. The throat diameter is smaller so it restricts the flow (maybe by half?) You could use anything that fits inside the tubing. Maybe another piece of tubing w/ a smaller ID.

Just want to bum this for future references. Dr. Scot, if you want to update your gadget page or something it's VERY welcome. Planning to build one of these very soon after build some other things
