Ever seen this before..ANTS inside my keg.

Sooo...

I was cleaning out a keg of ginger ale (don't ever make this from those little brown boxes, it was gross) and I left some oxiclean in the keg filled with water for a few days.

Jump to today, with me wanting to use this keg for my porter.

I pour out the oxiclean solution, to find 50 or so ANTS inside my keg. I guess it makes sense that they wanted that sugar, but this was kinda gross. I haven't seen an ant in a few months anyway.

Anyway, after much flushing and rinsing, I got the keg clean, and sanitized, and kegged my porter.

Just a note, please dont make that crap, it wansnt good and it made a mess.

Yeah, I hate those damn things. I had some nesting in my coffee maker. Go to turn it on and make a pot and a hundreds of ants Yuck.

If you dont ever want to see a bug again put a barrier of Suspend SC around the parimeter of the room ever 3 months. Stuff works GREAT and it is FDA approved to be used in food preperation environments.

the ginger beer is pretty good IMHO

Agree. I have a keg of it in the keezer...

i has got to be better than that ginger ale soda crap.. I cant believe how gross it was, and how much residual sugars it left everywhere.. totally not worth it.

gine the ginger beer a shot

I find that those sodas, the root beer, and the sarsaparilla especially, leave an awful taste behind in the kegs. So I have just 1 keg dedicated to those sodas, the stuff in the box is nice, you can make yourself diet soda using splenda and other sweeteners to taste.

Is that mouse stuck in LME?????:cross:
