I've got lazy. Doing this the easiest and most effective way I can.

Connect the ball lock. Open tap. Run keg washer with this attachment.

Keith, I need to put the gas connector on this I guess, or will the beer out connector fit this also?

Warm PBW then rinse.

This is exactly my setup...dollar store sprayer, Everwood for a beer out post and poppet, Home a Hardware for the brass connector...total cost under $20... Use Homemade PBW and Diversol (pink bleach detergent) and that'll clean and kill the creeps. I usually run the sprayer full F through with warm solution and rinse thoroughly with warm water. A couple of runs will sit for a few minutes before rinsing.
At Bat: several Czech Pils
On Deck: Cream Ale
In the Hole: Kolsch
Clean Up: Tall Ships Ale clones
On tap: Propeller Pils, Festa Cream Ale
