Would it be possible to use EdWort's Apfelwein recipe with other juice, assuming that it is additive free? I was thinking about making a batch with either cranberry or orange juice to see what would happen. Would I have any success?

We're getting ready to keg our first brew, and we're working with a ball-lock corny leg that was given to us. The liquid dip tube and the lid had a really nasty smell that I assumed was the o-rings, so I got rid of them. I just did an overnight PBW soak and the smell is gone from the dip tube...

So, we have a container of Oxyclean Free (generic) and it has solidified into a solid "clump" (the same happened to an earlier container of EasyClean one time. Is there a better way to "unclump" it than by just stabbing it with a knife?
