Brewpub Keg Washer/Filler Preference

[Sheehan]

We are a start-up in Rockford, Michigan. We are currently shopping various keg washers. We have been comparing like models from Beverage Machine Services, IDD and Premier Stainless. They all seem to offer similar features and appear to be well manufactured pieces of equipment, but I haven't seen any in operation. I'm sure there are differences only discovered by usage.

Are there any brewers out there with strong preferences toward one or another?
Has anybody used two or three that would share their experience?


Thanks in adavance!

We just bought a Premier Stainless keg washer and it's great. We went with the manual version because we're only a 3bbl brewery, if we were any bigger, I'd consider the fully automated versions because they save time and will wash all kegs consistently. They also have color touch screens.

We recently bought a two head model from Global Stainless, which is being marketed by Jason Ager, I believe. There was some damage in shipment, and some fittings that need replacing with heavier duty equipment, but once running, it purrs.

I have a 2 head manual Premier Stainless in my 7 bbl brewpub. No complaints at all. It's been humming along for about 1 1/2 years, about 50 kegs a week.
