    Scored a bunch of 15.5 gal. sankes off CL to ferment in... How do I clean them out??

    I have a marks keg/carboy washer but these things have been sitting outside for who knows how long. Will an hour or two on the keg washer be enough to get all the crap out of it for fermenting in? Should I boil a bunch of water in it before I use them? Any other tips or techniques?
