    2yr old video still getting comments 👍 awesome. I also run a larger brush down the post holes in the keg before putting the tubes back in. Most of the time there's nothing there because, like you, I clean everything right away. But it doesn't hurt to run a brush through, and it takes like 2 seconds, so it's a no brainer. On brew days I clean as I go so there's less to do when I'm done brewing. I'm liking the channel so far. (I'm new here) Cheers!

    Thanks for this video! All this time, I had assumed that just soaking Star San in my kegs would be enough to clean them. I would run some Co2 into the keg and pump out water, thinking that the Star San would sanitize everything. I disassembled one of my kegs and took out the dip tube and ran a brush through it. Wow, was it filthy! Now, I'm going to clean every one of my kegs thoroughly to ensure that they're 100% sterile when I pump in my homebrew.

    I go (OCD) one step further and clean out the PRV because maybe the Mormon Utah water but my PRV's get stuck open, usually when I'm already low on gas.
    Good point on cleaning the dip tubes - I need to do that more often. I want that little pick tool you have. Covid blows. Enough of my ramblings...

    Video Format Opinion:
    Hi brother. I'm a professional brewer at Big Boss Brewing in Raleigh, NC and also an amateur gaming UA-camr (shameless channel plug). Wanted to share my 2 cents about the new format since you asked. My personal opinion, I'm into it. This was far more informative than other videos and even though you still cracked jokes and had fun with it, it seemed far more professional. Although I enjoyed watching previous episodes, I thought the format was a little too "old school Epic Meal Time" if you catch my meaning. I think the newer format is a better balance for people that want to seriously learn while still being entertained. Thanks for all you do! Looking forward to the next episode!

    So Oxyclean does work good but if you add some TSP/90 cleaner in there too it works like 2 times better(only need about 30% ration of TSP to oxyclean). It does a much better job at breaking down oils which Oxiclean can have an issue with. Its the two main ingedients in PBW. Great video all around.

    Just wanted to say this is the most informative channel I have come across being a new home brewer, I did have a quick question though, I was wondering if there is a difference between Oxiclean and Oxiclean free? Does it matter? Thank you!
