    What did you use to clean it? I give mine a nice soak with oxyclean, rinse well and then fill half way with starsan solution, purge the oxygen and store. It works really well for me and is ready to go when my next beer is done fermenting.

    Hmm, I've never had a problem with a smell like that so I'm not sure. I'd say just break everything down and wash it well with oxyclean again to see if you can get rid of the smell. I'd be a little nervous to fill it with beer again if you can't get the smell to go away. Maybe some other will chime in that have had similar issues.

    Don't forget to pull the dipstick line out. Last time I pulled mine I found hop material stuck in one end after a batch.
