Was setting up for today's brewday last night, when I noticed the Igloo cooler E-HLT decided to stop not-leaking-like-an-f-ing-civ... So, 10:30p and I have a dilemma... Try to seal up the cooler or bust out the angle grinder and go to town on the spare keg I have been saving for a bottom...

(Apologies if this has been covered previously) After an extended airing out and drying process (read : I left about 16 cornies under the deck for a few, ahem, months) I noticed some had gotten a little funky inside... A good soaking in oxyclean cut most of the crud, but there were a few that...
