Save CO2 when cleaning/flushing lines

bcrawfo2 · Apr 15, 2013

Maybe I'm over thinking...but when moving cleaning solutions/water thru the beer lines/taps, you kinda waste CO2. Can I get away with using an air compressor to pressurize the keg? Thinking you could build a simple ball-lock to <something> hose to allow you to apply some pressure. Any limit to the pressure a corny could take?

Any downsides?

Buy a water aspirator from a lab supply house(cheap), and use vacuum to pull it thru. You will need std. water pressure to operate the asp'r.
Maybe Wiki will show how?

Though personally, I've gone low tech. I just use a squeeze bottle with a hose that can screw into the shank where the faucet was. You don't really need a lot of pressure to get the cleaner through.
