I have a rain barrel that I used 1 time as a fermenter for a really hoppy beer. Of course right after I got it, I got a killer deal on a stainless variable capacity fermenter so now I have an extra rain barrel. I'd like to use it as a water reservoir for the RO system, but weeks later, it still REEKS like hops. Anyone have a good way to get rid of that smell?

Hot PBW soak? Might give it a shot. If that doesn't work you might have to step up to bleach.
