Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for home brewing equipment including a basin for holding a cleaning solution and a support assembly mountable in the basin, the support assembly sized and configured to support a container in an upside down position and above the cleaning solution. A plumbing assembly may be coupled to the basin to receive cleaning solution from the basin and the plumbing assembly may be coupled to at least one channel configured to extend into the body of the container. The plumbing assembly may include a pump so that when the pump is activated pressurized cleaning solution is released from the channel inside the container against the inner walls of the container so that the inside of the container is sanitized. The basin may have support elements defining footprints for supporting at least two different sizes of containers.
