My lucky day!!! (Basically free kegs)

[Ben25]

So I was over at my beer store picking up some flip top bottles, and apparently they're closing in a few months (which sucks) but the guy there said "hey I have some Cornelius kegs too if you want them". I was expecting the average price, but he gave me 3 of them for $5 a PIECE!!!! I wasn't planning on kegging anytime soon, but I guess my mind just got changed!

Nice Score!! Now go out and get a set of o-rings for each one.

 

[Ben25]

I plan on it!! The kegs were really nasty, but a little scrubbing and they're starting to look better.

put a scoop of oxyclean in each one and let it sit overnight. Works like a charm.

 

[Ben25]

Thats exactly what I did. One of them was almost full when he gave it to me, I don't know what it was, but it was chunky.

I put Oxyclean in a aluminum pot and ruined it, not sure what a corny keg is made of but the Oxyclean won't hurt the metal it's made of?

(yup, I dug up an old thread using search)

Thanks! :cross:

Corny Kegs are stainless, IIRC, so oxyclean wont hurt it in any way shape or form.

Actually Oxyclean is one of the best ways to clean them!

 

[TJ-Bill]

do you guys fill the kegs up full or just with a couple of gallons? and shake it often?

what beer store is this? (I work in Williston) I probably missed it, but I hadnt heard of any closing.

 

[Ben25]

Heh, I work in Williston too. Where do you work?

The homebrew store is Vermont Homebrew Supply in Winooski.

I filled my kegs full with an oxyclean solution, worked fine.
