Can I use Bleach at all on my Keggle? It's a Stainless Steel Keg. I have never used it in the past, but I want to give her a good scrubbing today. If not, I could always stick with PBW.
Bleach is only a sanitizer, not a cleaner.
Backwards - bleach is a cleaner, not a sanitizer. At least, not unless you correct the pH (NOT RECOMMENDED - chloric acid is very bad stuff to breathe)
Bleach is both a cleaner and a (weak, by brewing standards) sanitizer because it contains high concentrations of sodium hydroxide (lye) along with the 'active ingredient' sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). The lye makes the pH high, which is good because it makes the chlorine part less reactive, and that's what you want when people with no clue what they're dealing with are using something dangerous.
