Very nice - how much did it cost you to throw that thing together? Is the main advantage here when you want to clean a few kegs in a row?

Look sweet. I went simple when I did mine. Just have one upright and do not have the leads to the posts. I might change it out but these things make cleaning so much easier. I have used mine to CIP the conical too.

I don't know, maybe $60? The pump was about $45 with shipping. The PVC fittings are dirt cheap. I split the output into 3 valves and the plan was to have one output to go to the spray head and the other two to go the the keg posts. That way I could cycle between the three, but I think there is enough power in the pump to force sufficient liquid through all three. The problem I ran into was that the pump wouldn't prime with everything hooked up, I had to open one of the valves that didn't have anything connected to it to get it to prime. I think my tub just isn't quite deep enough. I'm going to pick up something deeper for the next time around.Also, as I had previously read, the water didn't really heat up as time went by. The water only heated up about 10 degrees in 20 minutes, I had to heat some water up in my kettle and pour it in. In my next revision I'm going to put a 1000W element and a temp controller in the tub. Maybe if I'm really ambitious, I'll swap the hand valves out for some solenoids and put everything on a timer.
