Keg cleaning after rum strips

[twobottles]

So I did a couple of rum strips (30l) and rinsed out the keg but it appears to have a brown burnt looking stuff on the bottom of the inside. I've rinsed it out lots and lots and left water in there overnight, when I poured the water out its nice and clean, and the keg doesn't smell either.

I searched cleaning kegs after rum rums and didn't find ant threads about this, I don't think the inside looked like it does when I first started to use it but can't be sure.

Is it normal to have to clean gunk off your keg after stripping rum, or normal to just rinse it out?

It's the weekend and I'm looking forward to a spirit run on tpw and a couple more rum strips but I don't want to flavour the tpw with burnt crud from the rum(if it even is burnt crud andnotjustadirty bottom)

Cheers

there is a thread on it by mullamulla with pictures but I don't know what its called. Anyway basically wire a scrubber to a stick and that will work, alternatively you could attach it to a rod and use a drill :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[twobottles]

Yeah that's awesome, scrubber on a broom handle did it in seconds cheers looks like its all on for tonight!

Can also chuck a length of chain or a handful or two of blue metal into it and roll it around a bit.

many thanks, i got it pretty clean, but not brand new sparkling clean. Good read that there crow, cheers. Tigbrush looks like sweet piece of kit.

maybe half a quarter of pure sodium percarbonate and hot water? should clean just about anything without scrubbing

Could just throw the next wash in and get a bit of extra flavour ;-)

All that wood and no nailing going on, sounds rather frustrating.

Yeah mines the same Kelby, as a newbie it worried me, rinse and run is the order of the day for me now.

[twobottles]

wouldnt it be funny if I had a wooden tit. wouldnt it?

[crow]

Well aren't yaz just hilarious :hand: I've said it before and I'll say it again if someone wants to replicate a naval rum the only way they will ever achieve it is with a wooden boiler and the first time my bank account is printed in black for a whole week I'll bloody well prove it :obscene-birdiedoublered: :teasing-tease:
