- The less time cold beer is flowing in your lines, the more build up they get. After a while, cleaning them won't do the trick. You've got to replace them. Here's how I do it.

The man corrected himself after he said NSF-51 was an acronym. That deserves a like :)
We appreciate you 👍
You are a lifesaver. I could not for the life of me remember the order of the pieces. Froze the video at 4:04 and bam I could put my shank back together. Thank you!
Right on! Glad it was useful. Cheers!
I also did the same thing where I forgot the order and got right to this spot and thought thank goodness!
Nice video. Im firing my kegerator back up after being down a few years. I bought new lines. The guys at the local Home Brew shop recommended I upgrade to 1/4” hosing and running it longer as the extra length (I went with 8’) cus it helps with foam control. I also previously built a DIY tower cooling fan. I bought a plastic hard drive box for a computer and a computer fan. I cut a hole in the “intake” side and a hole in the “export” side. I fashioned a cone and some 1 1/4” plastic tubing so that the fan pulled in air from inside the kegerator and blew a steady supply of cold air out the other side and through the 1 1/4” tubing up the tower keeping the beer line cold all the way through to the tap handle. Worked like a charm to keep things colder and reduced so much foam. Just my little diy. Cost less than $20 and worked wonders. Thanks for the video!
Great input! Thanks!
Great information ! My dad gave me his kegerator he never used and I had NO IDEA how to do any of this stuff lol
Randomly searching UA-cam for information how to clean/maintain my new kegerator and to my surprise at the end of the video you say you have Riggs on tap. I live 10 minutes from Riggs and primarily bought this for the Hefeweizen. Delicious stuff. Nice videos.
I live in Savoy and Anders, my UA-cam partner, lives in Champaign. We love Riggs! Thanks for watching.
@@DoItProjects St Joseph here. Love Riggs as well, Such a great vibe there. Get your Oktoberfest, Its fresh and ready.
I just picked up a used kegerator and your video is very helpful. Thank you Do It!
Awesome! Glad it helped. Have fun with your new kegerator. Cheers!
Thx for the vid... everything went well following g it except how do you disconnect the hose from the kag connector? The part that connects to top of keg
Thanks for this. I've just been gifted a kegerator and had no clue where to start rebuilding/replacing/cleaning.
Glad to have helped! And dont stop here. There's a lot of other really good videos out there with different tricks and tips. Cheers!
I need a video from someone who actually has their shit together, I mean the guy is all over the place...
The internet is vast. I'm sure you'll find one.
Link to the hose you used please
What is I don’t have faucet wrench? Or I don’t know what size to order?
What psi your co2 set at? TIA
Thanks! New to this, is the 3/16" ID line the most common? I bought some replacement and there is NO WAY this is going to fit the barbed fittings.
what model Sanyo is that
Funny thing is I need to know how you got that shank nut off. Cause I have no idea
Just hold it in place with anything that fits, like a wrench or pliers, then give the shank a twist to loosen it. Once it's loose just use your fingers to thread it the rest of the way off. To reinstall, just thread it on with your fingers and use the wrench or pliers to give it a final tightening. Just be careful not to over-tighten. Your fingers might be enough. Hope this helps 👍
You skipped the part I cannot manage to do - that shank nut is impossible to get off for me.
Nice smile n stir session!
Thanks!
This does not work for changing lines on a Danby Dual Tap completely different
Lol I just happen to look this up July 3rd
Have a great holiday weekend! Cheers!
