I always find it hard cleaning my coenie kegs, and was wondering if other people had a bad time with this chore :x

I use a combination of commercial cleaning chemicals. First off rinse with water. Remove posts and lid and boil them for 10 minutes. Meanwhile fill keg to brim with a 1% solution of antiformin S. Stand for 30 minutes, drain and rinse. Fill to brim with 1% solution of 5% peracetic acid. Stand for 30 minutes, drain, do not rinse. Reattach posts - keg is ready for use.

My kegs come up spotless every time and the antiformin hasn't dissolved them yet...
