I have amassed about 7 kegs over the years, and I recently had 2 beers get an infection that I am ultimately blaming on the kegs as everything else was new. Time for some deep cleaning. I started changing out plactic bits with an o-ring kit, but I realized that there is a lot more to replace than the standard 5 ring kit provides (the 5 being the main o-ring, the 2 posts and 2 drop tubes). There are also the poppet o-rings, which I would think would be the most likely to have bad things growing on them, and the pressure release valve o-ring. So after discovering that, I have noticed staining on the inside of some of my lids that can't be scrubbed away. I was thinking about doing some stronger caustic soaking over night, but lets say I can't get the staining off. Should I buy a new one? Am I going too far or not far enough?
