I bought a spare keg a couple months ago and was prepping it to use it. So I put some Oxiclean in it. And forgot about it.
This week I opened it up and poured out the water in it, only to find a rough surface inside. Apparently the Oxiclean started forming crystal stalactites, and they wouldn't dissolve in clean water.
I was worried that I had ruined the keg, but after doing some reading I added 2 cups of vinegar to 5 gallons water and in the morning the keg was like new!
So the bottom line is, don't leave Oxiclean in stuff for 2 months or you'll start to get crystal formations. And if you do: vinegar and water will clean that right up.
