I have an old keg that I'm converting to a keggle. It had Foster's in it. It still had pressure on it and some soured beer. It's got some kind of funk streaking the walls and bottom. I used BKF and oxyclean. I scrubbed the he$$ out of it and it will come off but I'll be an old(er) man with Hulk Hogan arms at this rate. Should I let the oxyclean set over night? Any other ideas?
I posted this on the sticky under cleaners/sanitizers, but didn't get a response. So, I copied it here. After soaking overnight a couple of times, I still had to scrub forever to remove the funk. Finally, I used some 220 grit sand paper and then knocked it down with steel wool. I scrubbed it again with oxyclean and then BKF. The funk is gone but there is some discoloraton/dark spots where it was. Should I work it over with 320 grit and then 400 to keep from having the scratches? Also, after I weld in the couplings, do I need to re-pickle the stainless? I read yes and no on here and was kind of looking to consolidate the info in this thread. Thanks for the help - Dwain
