Help please: First use of Starsan and Corny Keg!

[darthballs]

Can I have some advice please folks.

I have 10 litres of RO water from pets at home, a small pack of unopened starsan and a single corny keg to steralise. I also have a regulator and almost full gas cylinder ready to go.

How much solution do I need to properly steralise the keg so that I can put my tripel spuduliet in it?

I do 3.5 ml per two litres of water with Star san. I keep it in old pet bottles, and with ro water it keeps for months. Get a medicine syringe from pharmacy, makes life easier when making the star san up.
Stick a couple of litres in the keg, shake the he'll out of it, put pressure on and dispense it out back into bottles, then you've sanitised the out post too.

Pretend to be a junkie and visit a needle exchange, the syringes are free. I don't know about Enlgand, but in Scotland you just have to put your name and postcode down on a form to get some syringes. That's what I do, there's a pharmacist 10 minutes walk away from me that also runs a needle exchange and none of the other nearby pharmacists sell 5ml ones, just 1ml.

and you don't need 2 l in your Keg.

.5l sloshed about would be fine but SS is cheap so stick in 2 l and flush your taps and line whilst your at it, don't forget .5l in a spray goes a long long way.
