Mark II Keg and Carboy Washer Mod – Adding a Stainless Steel CIP Spray Ball

cln_img_2973

I’m a big fan of the Mark II Keg and Carboy Washer.  I use mine for lots of things including… kegs, carboys, Speidel Fermenters, buckets, tubing, draft lines [See: Mark II Keg & Carboy Cleaner… As a Recirculating Draft Line Cleaning Pump] and more.  See: Hands on Review: Mark’s Keg and Carboy Washer for a comprehensive look at this great homebrewing tool.

A while back I became aware of a Stainless CIP Spray Ball (1/2″ size) via a reader tip.  Thanks to HBF Reader Sam for the original heads up on these and HBF Reader Chris for the idea to use in conjunction with the Mark II Keg and Carboy Cleaner! [8 Ways to Connect with HBF].


Find a CIP Spray Ball!

Note: The Spray Ball I used in this post has since changed specifications.


CIP (Clean in Place) Spray Balls are generally used for vessels that are too large to move.  Since they’re too large to move you… clean them in place.  If you have a larger setup, you could incorporate these into your system or routine to help clean your vessels more easily.

How Often Should You Replace Keg O-Rings? psstt… Daylight Savings Starts on March 10

How Often Should You Replace Keg O-Rings?

I think you should replace all keg o-rings when you refurbish or obtain a used keg. Generally speaking they are going to be worn out and even if they aren’t they’ll smell of soda pre-mix.  Beyond that, who knows what they’re made from.  Start with a clean slate.

What about after that? Of course, you could just keep using them until they break, they smell or look horrible or… until you lose a tank of CO2 due to an o-ring related leak. On the other end of the spectrum some people change o-rings every time they keg.

Vantage Synergy Power User Formula – Three Part Draft System Cleaner – on sale for $39.99

Vantage Synergy Power User Formula CL34

Vantage Synergy Power User Formula from MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • When you want to clean your draft system like the pros, use the most advanced cleaning system available
  • Vantage is the only beer line cleaning system that removes beerstone, biofilm, odors, and biomass (including bacteria) in a single pass. Commercial cleaning systems involve multiple passes with different products
  • Vantage is much safer to use than traditional alkaline or acid-based beer line cleaning products
  • Maximize the effectiveness of Vantage Synergy by combining the Biomass Remover, Demineralizer, and Accelerator to create the Power User Formula

Vantage Synergy is an industry-leading non-caustic, non-toxic beverage system cleaning solution that reduces cleaning time by up to 50%. This non-hazardous lineup of cleaning chemicals reduces the risk of injury compared to other caustic solutions, and is much more environmentally friendly thanks to its biodegradable chemistry.

The Vantage Synergy Power User Formula combines the Biomass Remover, Demineralizer, and Accelerator to create the most powerful, yet safe, beverage system cleaning solution on the market. Combine 2 oz of each cleaning solution per gallon of water, and you’ll be able to remove beerstone, biofilm, biomass, and odors from your beverage system in a single pass. Non-caustic, non-corrosive, and non-hazardous. Vantage Synergy can replace dangerous, corrosive acid cleaners while cutting your cleaning time in half!

Biomass Remover
Biomass Remover offers all the power of caustic without the associated danger. This revolutionary non-caustic beverage system cleaner replaces traditional hazardous alkaline products such as Penetrate. Safety matters, and Vantage Synergy Biomass Remover provides all the results of traditional, hazardous, alkaline caustic without any of the danger. Triple zero rated for health and safety. No DOT hazardous shipping warnings. Features industry standard tracer dye.

Demineralizer
Vantage Synergy Demineralizer can be used in place of corrosive acid-based beverage system cleaners such as ALC as a safe, effective alternative. Acid cleaning beverage systems on a quarterly basis is the best way to reduce beer stone deposits, but traditional acid cleanings are time consuming, dangerous, and are often underperformed. Put the acid cleaners away and save time and improve beverage quality by demineralizing a beverage system with every cleaning cycle with Vantage Synergy Demineralizer. Triple zero rated for health and safety. No DOT hazardous shipping warnings. Features industry standard tracer dye.

Accelerator
Accelerator super charges the Vantage Synergy Power User Formula to provide superior results with unmatched safety. This enzyme-based cleaner will reduce biofilms and odors throughout your beverage system. Enzyme-based cleaners for beverage systems are a safe and modern alternative to traditional hazardous chemicals. Vantage Synergy Accelerator is not a standalone cleaning option but is designed for the three-part Power User Formula.

For use with CO2 pots and recirculating pumps:

  • Add 2 oz Biomass Remover, 2 oz Demineralizer, 2 oz Accelerator per gallon of water for the complete Power User Formula.
  • ONLY mix Vantage Synergy products with each other.
  • NEVER mix any other chemical products with Vantage Synergy products.

Highlights:

  • Use the three-part Synergy package and reduce cleaning time by up to 50%
  • Non-caustic, non-corrosive and non-hazardous
  • Triple zero health and safety rating
  • No DOT hazardous shipping charges for freight or parcel delivery
  • Improve personal and consumer safety, reduce property damage and injury liability claims
  • Built-in industry standard tracer dye
  • Biodegradable chemistry limits wastewater effluent concerns

Challenge: Not having enough time to perform industry standard cleaning cycles and visit enough accounts per day.
Solution: Use the three-part Synergy package and reduce cleaning time by up to 50%.

Challenge: Existing cleaning products are hazardous, dangerous, and corrosive.
Solution: Vantage Synergy chemicals are non-caustic, non-corrosive and non-hazardous. Switching to Synergy will improve personal and consumer safety, reduce property damage costs and mitigate injury liability claims.

Challenge: Built-in tracer dye as an industry standard safety feature.
Solution: Our “old” caustic and acid brands did not feature a tracer dye, Vantage Synergy does. Tracer dye indicates when cleaning solution is loaded into a system.

Challenge: Dangerous caustic and acid chemicals are not “green” products.
Solution: Vantage Synergy products are biodegradable and limit wastewater effluent contamination concerns.

Challenge: Hazardous shipping fees are expensive for freight and parcel delivery.
Solution: Vantage Synergy products are “triple zero” non-D.O.T. regulated for shipping.

  • Related Top Post: Fun with Carbonation Caps!

One of the questions that arises on these type of carb caps, is… does it work with both liquid and gas posts?  Some models are universal fit and some work only with gas posts.  For draft line cleaning projects to work well, at least in my opinion, the carb cap that’s used needs to be universal.  I’m happy to report that the one I received did indeed work with both liquid and ball lock posts.  Check the product description for current specs.

Daylight Savings Starts on March 10… Time To Change Keg O-Rings

How Often Should You Replace Keg O-Rings?

I think you should replace all keg o-rings when you refurbish or obtain a used keg. Generally speaking they are going to be worn out and even if they aren’t they’ll smell of soda pre-mix.  Beyond that, who knows what they’re made from.  Start with a clean slate.

What about after that? Of course, you could just keep using them until they break, they smell or look horrible or… until you lose a tank of CO2 due to an o-ring related leak. On the other end of the spectrum some people change o-rings every time they keg.

Make Better Beer!

Hand crafting beer is a fun and rewarding hobby. The first rule of making better beer is to keep everything that touches the beer clean and sanitized. The Mark II Keg Washer helps to accomplish this task in an easy, efficient, and effective manner.

Save Time, Labor, Space and have fun!

The most labor-intensive and time-consuming task in brewing is cleanup. The Mark II Keg Washer allows you have all your containers and hoses clean by the time your brewing task is done.

Many home brewers set aside containers ?to be cleaned later.? This discourages getting started on the next batch.

The Mark II Keg Washer should be the first piece of equipment you set up and the last thing you put away on brew day or when you transfer your beer from one container to then next.

When transferring beer from one container to the next, we first use the Mark II Keg Washer to sanitize the container that the beer will be transferred to. Then we clean the container that the beer was transferred from.

 

This is awesome!  I have this and like it very much.  It’s one of my favorite pieces of brewing gear.  It’s saved me a lot of time and hassle.  Check out my Hands on Review – beyond the in depth review that includes some mods and hacks.
