Just checking

I picked up my first corny tonight :D
I just want confirmation that these are the right things to do :?
1. Fill it with soda crystal solution put the lid on, pressurise and run some solution through the tube and let it soak.
2. Rinse out the soda solution and spray the inside with betadine solution, I assume I need to get some solution up the dip tube as well :?
3. Allow betadine solution to drip dry.
4. Fill it with a mix of turbo ciders cos thats all I've got that needs bottling/kegging :shock: and I want to play :oops:
5. Drink turbo cider from corny whilst playing with pressures etc 8) during Saturday
6. Get up Monday morning wondering what the hell happened to Sunday :lol:

Sounds reasonable.

Ensure you flush out nasty cleaners from the keg! always depress the "out" poppet to allow retained cleaner to be flushed out. Betadine as a final soak is good - I pressurise the keg at this point and flush betadine through the "out tube then zero pressure, release "out " popett pressure and leave to drip dry.
Dan!
