I have a stupid n00b question and I think I did an even stoopider thing...
How can you tell if a sanke keg is stainless steel or aluminum?
I cut one up, assuming it was stainless, put in the drain valves and brewed away happily. Now I'm cracking bottles open and the beer tastes quite metallic.
We're thinking that the issue is either that the keg is aluminum OR that the copper in my CFC wasn't cleaned (I thought I cleaned it well, but I could be wrong)
If the keg's aluminum, I'll fill it and boil boil for 90 minutes to put on a passive layer - but I have no idea how to treat the CFC other than run lots and lots and LOTS of cleaner and water through it.
