Here we go.
I think I'm gonna do it. I have a 40 plate Keg Cowboy plate chiller that I bought on the For Sale section last year and am just now ready to use it.
I was searching how to clean them and came across some nasty threads about the crap that never gets cleaned out so...
Today I made a solution of OxiClean and TSP in the sink and let it soak for ten min. Turned it over and nice brown water poured out. Did this several times then let it soak for an hour. The sink was full of grain husks and what not, so rinse and repeat. Same result but not as much brown water and fewer hulls.
That's when I started to rinse with hot water. I kinda shook it a little and then a whole bunch of nasty black crap started coming out. I did this for a while and finally said to hell with this, I think every one of those channels is full of this stuff, I'm gonna go with the DRANO!
In theory it should work but no one that I've seen has actually done it.
Any recommendations or persuasions either way?
