I converted some keg's into a MLT, a BK and HLT and a Fermenter. I used a Rotozip to cut the tops off and a dremel sanding disk to smoothout the cuts. I just tranfered my first batch from the fermenter to the keg and I noticed that there is rust around most of the lip to the vessle where the rubber gasket and the lid meet. I also noticed the rust only occured where the sanding drum scratched the surface a bit.
I assume that the small pits that were created allowed for rust to form (still not sure how since it is stainless steel) but what are you guys doing to combat this? Do I just need to clean it very good each and every time and deal with it? Are there coatings that are being used?
