Ive googled and googled and googled on this all of last night and all of today between household jobs.. and i couldnt find a bloody thing that helped me in Australia.
Ive just acquired my first (legal) keg to convert to a keggle, slowly getting bits together to go AG and looking to start BIAB with a 50L Keg on a gas burner we have here already, and eventually move to a 3v setup.
Now, the inside is pretty damn clean, and i will obviously clean it out well before using it. Its still a while off.
I have a few rust marks on the outside (surface rust only, nothing bad) and some very dirty looking sections. I like clean things, not super polished second coming of Jesus shiny, but just something clean and tidy looking.
The only things i can find on google to clean the exterior with is Bar Keepers Friend, which obviously we dont have here.. The question - what is a good substitute? I went at it with some "metal magic" i had laying around the garage from cleaning some chromed drum lugs, worked shit on those, so i didnt have any hopes for it, but gave it a crack anyway! I heard any oxalic acid cleaner will work, but down at bunnings and the local coles, nothing actually has ingredients listed.
Cheers!
