This is just about identical to what I do except I skip the oxyclean after I’ve done it once to a newly aquired keg. A hot water rinse followed by Iodaphor (also pumped through the tap) is all I’ve done.

I usually skip the oxyclean/pbw rinse as well, unless it’s a new keg or if it hasn’t been done in a while. It’s a good thing to do though, at least once in a while, to keep your equipment clear of any buildup.

A little bit of overkill IMHO, but never a bad thing. Better to be too clean than risk infection. I usually do the hot water and Oxyclean, then hot water again about every other batch. Just hot water in between.
I have the exact same setup (Sanyo kegerator). Love it too. Anyone w/o a kegerator is missing out, build one.

Excellent my friend! All of us homebrewers need to share videos and link sites!

Seriously, thanks for taking some of the mystery out of this.

Why couldnt you just rinse with oxy clean the first time? Save a step, some CO2, and some water.

Starsan negates the PH of the Oxyclean (or PBW), so I give the keg a quick rinse/shake with hose water, then a cup or two of Starsan, shake that up and pitch it. then transfer my Starsan keg into the newly cleaned keg. so I’ve always got starsan rotating through my 30 odd kegs.

i’m thinking about kegging, where do you re-fill your co2 tank at.

You are the brewing man! Wish you would do more brew vid’s Stout or a Porter.

Oxy clean? why not use the no rinse beer sanitizer? (starsan, c-brite) thats what these cleansers are designed for. Cleaning the line from the keg to the faucet every time just isnt necessary. Ive had a keg for 6 years. I rinse that line every 4 kegs. Never had a problem- at all. Rinsing the keg is waaay easier with a rinse wand. Hold the keg upside down, and the water shoots up into the keg and rinses it in seconds. just sayin

Because lots of people into homebrew kegging use Oxiclean for cleaning and Starsan for sanitizing, just do a little research dude. Good stuff Chris..
