and Screens
The Step Filter, Adjunct Insert, Mesh Screens, Hop Cages, Cage
Lids, and Foam Trap (including spindle) are all dishwasher safe.
Hot water soaks can be used in place of dishwashing.
In order to maintain NSF compliance of this product, the Fabric

re-used
•
For dishwasher: do not use heated dry or sanitize cycle.
•
Do not use: PBW (Pro Brewers Wash), StarSan, OneStep,
OxyClean, or similar products on step filter. These can
cause the step filter to crack.
•
If you notice a residue staining the step filter after repeated
use, a paper towel or cloth with a 1:1 water/distilled vinegar
solution can be used to occasionally wipe out the step filter,
followed by a thorough rinse.
•
Keg Wands and Racking Assembly can be sanitized in a
StarSan solution, but should not soak for longer than 5
minutes. Longer may cause the plastic to break down and
crack, and can damage the vinyl tubing.
Cleaning the Keg
Cleaning your keg is extremely important—a dirty keg can lead
to contaminated batches.
01.
Using a 17 mm wrench, remove both keg posts, and clear
any debris from the poppets.
02.
Check the condition of the O-rings and confirm that they
are in place.
03.
We strongly recommend using a homebrew specific
cleanser or powdered dishwasher detergent to clean your
keg.
