Cleaning lines without Gas

[oc eric]

Is there a way to clean the lines of my keg without using gas?

I have a 5 gal keg with beer in the lines. It has sat for a few weeks. I now want to get some beer, but the beer in the lines might make the rest of the beer taste bad. I want to clean the been dispensing line and faucet without using another keg and star san to clean.

Any suggestions? Thx.

Use a pump, or I've seen some clever cleaners made using a (new) garden sprayer with a QD fitting on the end of the hose. Fill it with BLC or sanitizer, pressurize it and push the cleaner and sanitizer through the lines.

Google doesn't show anything that appears to work...

Ah...I'll post the results of my Lowe's shopping trip in case anyone else is trying to solve this same problem.

That's what I use; works great!

I have a similar contraption that came with my Haier kegerator. Same faucet connection, but it is just a bottle, no pressure, and it uses gravity to flush the lines with cleaner. I never use it any more since I usually use cleaner in a keg and CO2 to push it through the lines.
