marks 2 keg washer
hi am thinking of buying a marks keg washer but cannot find a uk supplier can get them on ebay from the usa but not sure about the voltage
Re: marks 2 keg washer
This shop has the keg washer and the bottle that you can add as well, although I would speak to them with regards to the voltage as I am pretty sure there was someone on here who imported one from the US and plugged it in just via an adapter, breaking it before it even got near a keg.

Re: marks 2 keg washer
Why not buy a pond/fountain pump, an ebay footswitch and use an old fv as a reservoir??
a couple of bricks up ended should make a keg stand as long as the top rubbers are intact.
but i am a cheepskate

I wouldn't mind a purpose built one some day, but I use a water butt pump with a spray ball attachment in a bucket. All very Heath Robinson but seems to work ok!Fil wrote:Why not buy a pond/fountain pump, an ebay footswitch and use an old fv as a reservoir??

Re: marks 2 keg washer
To flush the posts you will want 2 x disconnects to attach to the posts/keg and a couple of T or Y splitters, yu may need to add a valve or 2 to balance the flow between posts and main jet, just select your feed hose carefully using a tube that wont collapse/kink when filled with warm/hot water..

Re: marks 2 keg washer
I shot Niels an email out of curiosity about this and so that there would be an answer to this question. I got a reply back to say that they sell the 240v version with EU plug, so no transformer required.f00b4r wrote:This shop has the keg washer and the bottle that you can add as well, although I would speak to them with regards to the voltage as I am pretty sure there was someone on here who imported one from the US and plugged it in just via an adapter, breaking it before it even got near a keg.

Re: marks 2 keg washer
I bought one from homebrewshop.be and got it working at the weekend. This is without doubt the best homebrew investment I have made. I completely broke down, cleaned and then santised two kegs in record time. My back didn't ache and I didn't need to wear gloves (Oxyclean irritates the skin on my hands). I could play with the kids as I was doing it as well.
I needed to cut the European plug off and replace it with our (much superior) British plug, and I added disconnects with some JG fittings to clean the dip tube and gas in. The only thing I would improve is that you can't fit both disconnects on at the same. This isn't really a problem as the gas tube doesn't really need that much cleaning.
One of the kegs was filthy with bits of hops from hop pellets but this cleaned it really easily. I am very impressed!

Re: marks 2 keg washer
hi what cleaning stuff are you using
Re: marks 2 keg washer
I use Wilko Oxi Plus Stain Remover at £2 a kilo. It works for me so I can't justify the cost of PBW.
Re: marks 2 keg washer
hi sorry to keep asking but how much do you put in and how hot does the water have to be to disolve the oxi plus
Re: marks 2 keg washer
It comes with a spoon inside and I use a spoonfull in about 5 litres of warm water. It's a cleaner though so you don't need to be precise, if you think you need more then add it. It's just sanitisers you need to be more precise with.
Re: marks 2 keg washer
Very tempted to grab one of these. I was going to build one but there isn't a huge markup compared to the parts.
I wonder if 4.5L demijohns would fit on (maybe with a spacer)?

Re: marks 2 keg washer
i will eat my earlier words seeing it in action in @sonicated s pic.. finishing a diy solution to its as neat AND suitable for in the kitchen use not just on the lawn on a hot summers day when getting soaked isnt an issue would be tricky to do with a similar budget..
