Awesome, my keg is getting this treatment before I roll my rig into the driveway to brew this spring!

After you sand them, do you have to worry about re-passivating (that the right term) the stainless steel? You can do that with just some BKF, right (which I finally found the one place in Berkshire county that sells it, freakin' Linens N Things... )

That's a good question about passivating. I wet sanded a few cornies last year and didn't have any rusting but come to think of it, I was using a BKF-like stainless polishing compound along with it. I guess I'll find out the hard way. Now if I can just figure out a way to keep the bottom skirt from discoloring from the heat.

I just found BKF in Shoprite by the way.

This guy used this stuff on his after he polished them and no rust or problems.

I can only dream that mine could look that good. My future Father-in-Law just got 4 Sankes for me, and I have yet to see them. With any luck I'll have the possibility of making them look that good.

They should replace the coffee at work with a good ol' Oatmeal Stout... At least then I'd be to work on time.

This crap hurts my back. Even though I'm not really spending all that much time, it's still a lot of work. Here's a spot that I hit quickly with the polishing compound.

If I do this I'll end up with "pretty" kegs. I don't know if I can have that.

I would think that a wire brush on a corded drill would be better than 100 grit! Wouldn't a wire brush be perfect for this... Maybe a scotch brite pad if you don't have a drill.
