Getting to the gunk for cleaning is always a problem So here is one more solution After cleaning with scrubber on drill, put about 7 gallons of very hot water into sanke, add PBW or other type of cleaner, then insert this http://www.brewershardware.com/American-Sanke-Keg-Fermentor-Kit-with-Thermowel...

How are you racking from Sanke to Corny kegs?
If using a pump, the diaphragm may have some gunk in it

Try this
Add one yeast item to recipe, then set volume to 2L etc
Add a second yeast item and set this starting cell count to what ever the ending count was on first item
I tried this and was able to get up to 950B cells in just two steps

Not sure about 5 l, but take a look at this site

I use it regularly

Are you using RO or city water run thru a carbon block filter?

Ok, I will be sure to apply a new thin layer with every washing. I also have had problems with the poppets as well. Usually, I just wiggle the top of the ball lock where the poppet seals, and I can get them to behave. .. usually... The part numbers were from DrDuallys post... I had them in as sprea...

Apply a thin coating...anything more will just make a mess
