Cleaning a barrel
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2018 3:54 pm
Just bought a 10 l port barrel off gumtree. The bloke I bought it off told me he had kept water in it for about 6 months to stop it from leaking :violence-smack:
So I just emptied it out, the water was quite dark and there was a big blob in there that looked like a greyish slimy turd.
The barrel smells a bit musty, not a strong smell but not too good.
Has anyone dealt with this kind of thing before?
I was thinking of just rinsing with water a few times then fill up with 95% foreshots and heads for a week or so then more rinsing and then maybe let it dry right out before using.
Any ideas would be appreciated
