I saw an old thread on this before, but we've been playing around w/ running acid/detergent only on our Premier keg washer and wanted to get some feedback from any others that might be doing the same successfully. Any tips on temperature, cycle time, concentration, etc?
During our tests we've been running 1-2% v/v of Loeffler's nitric/phosphoric blend at ~120F or so w/ Birko's X-Puma and from the few spears we pulled everything looked great; however, I'm of course hesitant to switching over completely for such a critical process. FWIW, we currently are not filtering our beers, so my main concern is whether our dry-hopped and/or protein heavy brands will be possible to clean w/ acid only.
Much thanks in advance for any info!
