Initial cleaning of new keggles?

So I finally got my keggles polished and all the holes drilled and all the SS bits and pieces installed.

What do you guys recommend doing for a first cleaning/degreasing? You know with all the cutting oil, metal filings, polishing dust etc. I sprayed them all out but I imagine I should run some sort of cleaner thru them before brewing the first time?

Recommendations?

 

I used barkeepers friend as per recommendation in another thread. Worked really well.

 

Soap and water should cut the grease ... Bar Keeper's Friend is a good choice, too, but may scratch your polished finish ...

 

I'm not talking about the outside I mean the inside.

 

I second bar keepers friend with a nice stiff brush or a scotchbrite pad...and thorough rinsing.

 

Do they sell barkeepers friend at LHBS?

 

I get mine at the grocery in the cleaning product aisle.

 

On the commercial scale with new unitanks and bbts I use Simple Green in CIP followed by a standard cleaning cycle. Should work perfect for your use.
