CK - I've seen that picture before, but I have to say, that is one fine looking black and tan.

How long do you go between major cleanings?

This is me too...Mine isn't even operational. Hasn't been probably for at least a year. I've been lazy and just using a cobra tap from the lager freezer. I've got tons of kegs to clean too. Ugh.

I clean the lines and faucets after each keg as well. Rarely replace hoses. Annually, I try to completely empty it and scrub it down. I need to do a better job of moisture control. Currently it is off and empty, and I need to fix a rust spot in it before I use it again, but that's another thread...

I clean after each keg blows, but last week changed out my lines for the first time in 4 years.Way too long. They looked disgusting, even though they were clean afaik.

Every time I kick a keg I run oxilean through the lines. After this I take apart the tap and soak that, rinse and reassemble. I've never replaced the lines or taken the QDs off of them. I scrub what part of the elbow shank I can get to with my dip tube brush.

I rarely clean out my kegerator. Haha.I think I replaced the lines about 2 years ago, but haven't done anything with them since. I also am using forward seal faucets, and a single stout faucet. Now that stout faucet I drain after every use, otherwise stuff starts to grow in the spout.I have enough beer in storage, that when a keg blows I can immediately put a new keg on it, flush the lines, and be good with it.With that said, I recently bought 200ft of the beverage line tubing and gas tubing, and will replace the lines when I get motivation. I also need to finish modifying my jockey box and air manifolds to support the number of beers I want to have for my wedding coming up.
