I was on the job and had to do an inspection of this business. It used to be a bar a few years ago. Well, I went down into the basement and the owner told me not to worry about the garbage downstairs because he stated he will be throwing it all away. I looked about and saw NINE soda kegs lying around! Holy hell ran across my brainwaves! I asked him if he was going to get rid of the kegs. He said yep. :rockin: The company has not come around to get them at all. I told him I will take them off his hands. He was very happy with one less thing to worry about. Today, I went and picked them up and they were FILTHY. Three of them were still full and pressurized! I figured out how to relieve the pressure by the pull pin. I believe these are all Pepsi kegs but I am not sure. How do I know? I scrubbed the outside and hosed out the inside. Minor rust on the outside. Tiny bit here and there. The insides are IMMACULATE. This is as far as I have gotten. I need some advice on what to do next. I want to use them for home brewing of course. Should I take off the two knobs and give the inside and all the part a THROUGH cleaning out with bleach and soap? I know I have to use food grade lube for the O rings.
What other parts do I need so I can use a tap right on the keg? I have read I need to pressurize the keg when I put in my beer to help seal it. How do I do it?
I need to be taken by the hand on how to use these things so I don't RUIN a batch of great home brew. Please help me out!
