How to get rid of the rootbeer smell

[jritchie111]

I recently borrowed some cornies from my brother. One of which he ran rootbeer through and never cleaned. I cleaned and sanatized when I got it and put it off to the side foe later use. I went to rack to that keg this morning and the rootbeer smell was still there. Luckly I had another keg I could use. Any suggestions on how to eliminate the oder. Thanks

You're going to have to replace all the rubber o-rings; root beer doesn't come out.

Thanks, we will need to get a CO2 stem too since it is plastic and not SS. I the keg from the IPA available for the honey stout so I am good shape and will put this corny to the side.
