As some of you may know from my other thread, I'm building a kegerator and I'm getting very close to the point where I'm going to get some beer in it :) woo hoo..
But there is one thing I have to be honest I hadn't thought too much about until now and that is cleaning and sanitizing my set up.
I've done a lot of research and confused the hell out of myself
starsan comes up A LOT, but it seems quite expensive and might not work depending on the PH levels of my water.
But there are lots of other things that come up too, some seem to sanitise and clean some just clean, some just sanitize.
do I need something for my lines and taps or can I just pump sanitzer through and that will clean it all.
I've seen people use oxy clean.. isn't that for that for clothes?? is that safe, can I pump that through my lines? (I guess I need to make sure I flush LOTS of water through after to rinse it) but then do I need a sanitizer too still??
any advice on what to buy ? I'm very tempted to get starsan, but I guess I still need a cleaner too ?? could I just use oxy clean (it's dead cheap at lidl )
my head hurts
