New 2.5 Gallong Corny - wierd smell

BADS197 · Aug 28, 2008

I have let it sit for about 24 hours with oxyclean free in the tub and last night I let it sit with starsan.. and it still has a slight hint of "newness" smell. (only way i can describe it)

I'm going out today to get the regulator and CO2 bottle so i can pressurize the keg as I dont have the rest of the parts for the kegerator.

Is this going to affect my beer I'm about to drop in it?

You could always put a bleach solution in it and leave it overnight. Then rinse the hell out of it. I doubt that the beer will pick up the smell, though.

thanks.

I'm off to the local homebrew store to shop for parts and other things..

Isn't bleach corrosive to stainless steel?

devaspawn · Aug 28, 2008

It very well may be. I apologize. I saw 2.5 gallon and didn't see corny.

cleaned with oxyclean free
sanitized with starsan
rinsed one final time just before kegging

hopefully it will not absorb the faint trace of odor.

I hope you're aware that rinsing after starsan could defeat the purpose of the starsan. It is a no rinse sanitizer. no risk introducing an infection with non-sterilized water after you sanitize

do not use bleach with that new corny. You can soak it with HOT PBW for a day or so, then rinse with hot water, or just get some cheap beer and "pickle" the new stainless. Sounds like good use for Keystone Light.
