BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

CLEAN

The cleaning process requires the BrewKeg50

TM

 and all 

parts to be: cleaned with cold water (removing all visible 
brewing residues), washed with Brewery Detergent (removing 
unseen build up), rinsed (removing all Brewery Detergent 
residue), and sanitised with boiling water. Once this is done 
you are ready to mix in your ingredients.

01. 

Boil 2L (0.5 gal.) of water, ready for use later. 

02. 

 Disassemble  BrewKeg50

TM

 into individual parts: 

lid, silicon lid seal, Variable Pressure Relief Valve 
(VPRV), beer tube, black anti-block fitting (on 
end of plastic beer line) and all base components 
of the bottom half of the sediment bottle.

03. 

 In a sink, jug, or small bucket, add 1 teaspoon 
(0.17 fl. oz.) of detergent per litre of hot tap water. 
Soak all disassembled lid parts and sediment 
bottle components in hot water, wiping clean with 
the non-scratch sponge to remove any visible 
yeast/krausen/hops residue of previous brew. 

04. 

Rinse the entire BrewKeg50

TM

 with cold water 

over a drain or sink. Using the non-scratch 
sponge remove the yeast ring, krausen and 
hops residues at the BrewKeg50

TM

 fill mark. Pay 

special attention to the underside of the seal area 
and bottom valve area. Turn the BrewKeg50

TM

over and clean the underside of the bottom valve 
and sediment bottle component. Ensure it is 
thoroughly clean before closing the bottom valve 

and pouring a small amount of boiling water 
into the underside of the closed bottom valve 
fitting to sanitise. 

05. 

Return to upright position and re-rinse with 
cold water. Open the bottom valve to drain 
excess water. 

06. 

Re-assemble lid, beer tube, anti-block fitting, 
and VPRV. Ensure the anti-block opening is 
facing inward and beer tube is inserted firmly 
into the lid beneath the correct port (Liquid 
Port marked ‘L’). 

07. 

Turn the VPRV to fully closed position. 

08. 

 Install sediment bottle and fill BrewKeg50

TM

with 3L (3 qt.) of hot water and add 2 teaspoons 
(0.34 fl. oz.) of brewery detergent. Wipe interior 
stainless-steel surfaces of BrewKeg50

TM

 with 

non-scratch sponge. 

09. 

Fill jug again and boil 2L of water (0.5 gal.), 
ready for use later. 

10. 

Install lid with silicon seal properly. The small 
tabs on the silicon seal should line up with the 
seams down the long length of the lid. Shake 
vessel upright, inverted, and on its side for at 
least 10 seconds. 

11. 

After every 4-5 uses of the BrewKeg50

TM

 it 

is a good idea to run the Brewery Detergent 
through your Beer taps. Attach draft beer taps 
and flush beer line and beer out port with the 
hot detergent.

NOTE: Enough pressure should build up via shaking 
of boiling water in the BrewKeg50

TM

 to allow flushing of 

the beer line. If there is not enough pressure, attach 
CO

2  

gas cylinder Gas-Disconnect (Grey) to the gas port 

(marked with a ‘G’ on the lid) and pressurise slightly to 
0.3 bar (5 psi). The correct methods for connecting and 
disconnecting your gas and liquid disconnects to your 
BrewKeg50

TM

 lid can be found in the 

Video Resources

on the WilliamsWarn website.
