Abstract:
A cleaning apparatus cleanses a portable keg tap for a keg of a beverage, such as beer. A keg tap coupling has an orifice which emulates a fluid outlet orifice of a keg. The keg tap coupling is connected to the inlet of a portable keg tap. A cleaning fluid coupling is disposed to connect to a cleaning fluid source, for example, a water spigot or water outlet from a water heater. A fluid regulator regulates the fluid pressure of the cleaning fluid flowing from the cleaning fluid source. A shut-off valve is used to selectively initiate and terminate the flow of cleaning fluid flowing from the cleaning fluid source. As a result, a portable keg tap can be efficiently cleaned and sanitized.
