Utility pump keg cleaner

[homebrewdude76]

I built a keg cleaner from a utility pump and bucket. I have the output spilt to corny in/out and a spray ball.

Output seems really good, but I need something to hold the corny in position.

I tried to use the bucket lid with lots of large holes. But the backflow splash was all over the place.

Any thoughts on holding a corny?
My sanke rests on the bucket no issue.

What about a second bucket with holes drilled in the bottom for drainage? Is that possible?

Or, maybe eliminate the bucket altogether and use one of those big plastic totes to hold the pump and cleaner. You could use a piece of wire shelf (like for a closet) that sits across the tub and that should support the corny.

Second bucket is a good idea. Might making connecting the QD a bit tricky

Maybe a PVC grate to hold the corny

Judging by the pics, a second bucket should work. Just cut your holes for the hoses, spray ball, and the pump's power cord. If those holes aren't enough for drainage, then add some more smaller holes to help.

This works for me. I flip it upside down and rest the carboy on top

I am making a keg washer similar to yours. I plan on using my hop spider to support the kegs. I will lay it over the bucket then center the keg over the spider with the sprayer up through the center.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1500080124.065724.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1500080143.040482.jpg
