    Default Has anyone made cleaning tank for lines?

    Hello, I am in the process of making my first kegerator. I have an older side by side fridge, beer lines, coupler, shank, faucet and a 5lb co2 tank with regulator. I am wondering if there is a cheap way of making a pressurized beer line cleaner?

    I'll throw my $0.02 in this older thread.

    I wanted a pressurized cleaning kit....but in the end....it was FAR MORE cost effective to simply add a second faucet/line and a corny keg.

    Now I can just add blc to the corney, use a jumper on the shanks, and clean everything quick and easy.
    On tap right now:
    Corny of Walter Payton's Dancing Bear Honey Wheat
    Corny of Walter Payton's Aurora Amber Ale

    Gone, but not forgotten:
    Sixtel of Sam Adams OctoberFest
    Sixtel of Walter Payton's Peat Smoked Scotch Ale
    Sixtel of Walter Payton's Dancing Bear Honey Wheat
    Corny of Walter Payton's Sweetness Stout

    Used Corny keg is the way to go, super easy and far cheaper than any of the available pressurized systems you can buy.

    it was cheaper for me to use a 30L keg(free) i run a pub and always end up with kegs that nobody picks up. when i drop a preticular brewery from my lineup, then they usually don't come by to get the kegs. they can sit in my storage for years.
    for now, i am using two all stainless kegs. just pull the spring clip and the insert comes out. fill one with water and cleaner, the other with just water for rinse. put clip back in and hook up to my lines. works awsome and only costs me the cleaner.
