hi brewgang
Been a while since I've been here, hope all is well.
My dad has provided me with a plastic keg (20 litres-ish) with tap that he requests is returned to him filled with bitter.
I gonna brew him a kit in a standard fermentation barrel, then transfer the beer to this keg, primed, and leave it to condition. Then he can draw straight from this keg.
Anyway, my question is thus.
This keg is kinda old. it was sealed but that has not prevented a little bit of 'weirdness' to appear on the inside in the 20 or so years its not been used. Nothing like proper mould, but a bit of discolouring. So I needs a clean and sterilise.
What cleaning products would anyone recommend for my needs? There's only a small opening so it'd need to be a good cleaner, plus me messing about with a big bottle brush or summat.
And if you think it's stupid to use a 30 year old plastic keg instead of buying a fresh 'un... just say.
