I made a similar keg washer but for A-type kegs. One issue was that it drains much slower than it fills so you end up with full kegs. I now wash in bursts and use CO2 to push the non-caustic cleaner/sani out.
Yes there was a commercial video i remember watching where he used compressed air to empty the kegs quicker with also a co2 feed so the keg after acid could be purged ready to be filled
I like the design but I am curious if you are you planning to add a CO2 and/or air option to the manifold? Also, how are you planning to mount the manifold to the washer cart?
Is there a dead space between the valves that may have the potential to have a caustic and acid mix? Just looking at it from the outside and being devils advocate?? Top present in my book, although I did learn after the micro wave Christmas present 😉 😄 . Cheers, Schnuz.
You old romantic you lol. That keg wash adapter looks the dogs danglies,i would be slightly concerned though there is nothing to stop accidental mixing of the three tanks,if say you open the acid valve but forget to close the caustic valve first. I am sure it will work a treat but if it were me i would make it so you can quick disconnect the tanks so only the one in use is connected at any given time. Have a great break m8 and Happy Birthday Gemma and Dominic. Cheers.
Happy birthday Dom. What do you do with all that yeasty hop slury? I always pour mine down the drain but have a feeling one day it's going to bite me in the arse and block the sucker 😣. Cheers
You sure about that four way connector? One mistake with a valve and you could be pumping acid straight into the Caustic , or vice versa! Potentially dangerous or at the very least wasteful of your cleaning solutions. Oh and happy birthday Dom and G\Jemma
Really a washing machine for a birthday prezzie, are you living last century man! Are you sure your misses will talk to you after that lol. Come on then join me in the dog house! I thought I was doing something nice one crimbo when I bought an Amazon Ehco with an unlimited music plan. Presented it as a music jukebox that you can shout at, as she loves her music, there was me thinking she'll like that. Only to find out at my birthday she took me to a concert for a singer who she likes...... You need something else mate! All the best and Mash On!
Happy Birthday to the family! My wife loved the new electric mower She received for her BDay! Cheers & Enjoy the Coast
Happy Birthday Dom and Gem for the weekend, keg washer looks good look forward to it in action.
Is there a special reason you moved to cleaning kegs with removed spear? Do you find it that the cleaning this way is not adequate? Thank you. Cheers
Snap bought the same machine for myself, have a similar plan for a keg washer as I have a few 20lt kegs less to fail than a corny, Cheers

My wife would kill me if I bought her a washing machine for her birthday! Best of luck
Just wondered how the in-body seats and packing of those valves holds up to the chemicals your using?
If I bought my missus a washing machine for her birthday she'd bloody murder me! Looking forward to the A&E video hah
