I have been lagering a batch of Munich Helles in a corny in a walk-in refrigerator at my workplace. The walk-in is not dehumidified, and apparently there was some beer splatter on the surface of my keg (probably from purging with the pressure relief valve). Now I have hundreds of little mold colonies growing on the surface of the corny top.
I think the beer inside is probably fine, since the corny is (hopefully still) sealed under pressure, but I am concerned about the posts and the valve. So my plan was to duct tape the chimes and fill the "bowl" with .. something. I'm nervous. Bleach would corrode the stainless, no? Maybe oxyclean, but it works better warm, and I don't want to let this thing warm up.
Any ideas?
