Kombucha Brooklyn Home Brew Kit - simple and easy to use!: Health & Personal Care. Homebrew Finds: Recirculating Draft Line Cleaning Build - Updated! The directions on most line cleaners call for recirculating the cleaner for some period of time. Most cleaning kits that are out there include a hand pump operating one of these for 15 to 30 minutes, for each faucet, doesn't sound fun. To really clean your draft lines, you need to keep solution flowing for a length of time, not just fill and wait.

Initially I tried to clean my system by pushing line cleaner out of a keg. This was a waste of CO2. I also found it tough to keep solution running slowly enough to get enough contact time. It's easy to quickly push a cleaning or sanitizing solution through your system under CO2 pressure, but I found it to be a pain to try to do so slowly. This also requires quite a bit of cleaning solution versus a recirculating pump. I decided to put together a recirculating draft line cleaning pump setup. First I needed a pump. After looking around, I settled on the EcoPlus-132 fountain pump.

Note that the current picture shows a slightly different pump. BeerTools Beer Making Resources and Home Brewing Recipe Calculator and Formulator.

Lisa Morrison) I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Lisa this year through different beer events, and she was kind enough to sit down and chat with me about all things beer… Where are you from and how did you get “hooked” on craft beer?

Lisa Morrison: I was born and lived in Tulsa Oklahoma until I was 15. We moved to Colorado when I was in high school and I graduated from Colorado State University. I fell in love with the Pacific NW when I was a teen and decided someday I was going to live there. I moved here in 1989. I always loved good beer; I just didn't know what good beer was until I was in college. How did you get the idea to start a radio show about beer? LM: About five years ago, Bruce Bjorkman, who does the "Cooking Outdoors with Mr. After a while, KXL decided to pull the plug on the show. So I renamed the show Beer O'Clock, changed the focus to good beer, and nearly three years ago, the show made its debut. LM: I didn't find any real challenges getting into the industry.

LM: Oh, sure. Products | Craft Beer University.
