craigb12 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I've done something pretty stupid. i decided to dry hop five kegs of ale, but, in my haste, i put the hops in loose, without putting them in a bag or anything. Now, of course, i've got 5 kegs with 5 blocked dip tubes full of hops. i'm gonna clean them out tomorrow, but i was wondering if anyone had some good 'top tips' for flushing the tube clean. Thanks C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I would be removing the dip tube and attempting to blast water through. Hopefully this will work?? Otherwise, straighten a coat hanger and push it through - cover the end of the wire with electrical tape or similar to prevent the end from scratching the inside of the tube. A keg, I have on at the moment, contains a stainless-steel mesh infusion ball filled with Nelson Sauvin hop pellets. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 You could always put a liquid disconnect on the gas line and shoot some Co2 down your dip tube. That should blow out any blockage you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
