I didn't want to be bothered with drilling 72+ holes (from the Zymurgy article) in a pipe to get the spray head working if I didn't have to. So far in my one test the keg seemed to get clean just by pushing the solution through the dip tubes alone. Since I have no interest in cleaning carboys, I'm not sure the spray head would be necessary.

I do need to test in a nastier keg to see if it's still effective (Derrin, do you need a keg cleaned? :P) I also want to test with hot water, but I'll admit that I'm a bit paranoid about building my own heat stick. I'll probably just heat it up on the stove and let it cool off as it cleans.
Brent, you need kegs that need to be cleaned??? :mrgreen:

I propose that at the next club brew day, Brent cleans all of our kegs.
