I used Oxyclean free with a hotwater tapwater soak over night in my Corny Kegs. These 2 Kegs I also fermented in, so there was some build up. This is the 3rd time I've seen it do this where after I dump the Oxyclean there is CRUD covering the inside of the keg. It is heavier where the krausen was, but also all over.
Now, it does not look like scaling. It is almost like stuck on oxyclean that I can scrape off using my fingernails, but not using a sponge. Risning with hot water does not remove it. It looks like my only option is elbow grease, but there is a lot in there and my arm doesnt fit well. I am trying a soak of StarSan to see if the acid based cleanser will do anything for me.
I live in Socal and am using hard tap water. Has anyone else experienced this? And any suggestions? THank you!
