Try an Oxi cleaner. It keeps barrels clean but not my stained tubing.

Thanks for that, have already triedOi with no result

I wouldn't be too bothered..some of mine have a bit if discoloration and beer smell after cleaning and sanitising.

Quite agree kegs sanitised ok it just for cosmetic value only when standing on bar against new units
Thanks all for your help

Have you tried a long soak with a chlorine product? I mean 24 hours.

What about the fermenter and barrel.

 

[Clint]

24 hour chlorine bath... that'd shrivel things even more..

 

[clampit]

No

I just did Orange and Chili Cider which left a stubborn tide mark

I used the VSP stuff and rotated FV until it had been underwater for a couple of hours and it had come off

I realise tht might mean it was not that bad but I couldnt shift it with usual cleaning method

Thanks will see what the chlorine does first if still persists will trying VSP
