Hi all,
In my eagerness to keg my first batch of beer that I have brewed, I think I made a mistake.
I have a reconditioned keg that I got from Midwest. They clean them with a "caustic cleaner" and recommend that you rinse it prior to sanitizing.
Well I didn't. What I did was dump out any liquid in the keg, then went through sanitation with Star-San. I used about two gallons of Star-San, dumped out the Star-San, left the foam, and racked the beer to the keg.
I don't think any of the existing "caustic cleaner" that Midwest used could have remained, but thought I would ask anyway. I wouldn't want to get sick off my first batch because I forgot to rinse. That would suck. lol
Any input is appreciated.
