Dear All,
I have been doing a reasonable amount of research in preparation to build a brew stand. While surfing the internet I stumbled across a home brew thread covering polishing kegs. I had become quick anoyed with the build up of wort at the base of my converted boil kettle from boilovers. So, I was keen to remove these 'stains' from the keg and determine how effective this technique would be to improve the look of the several other kegs i will be preparing to used on the new brew stand shortly, as they are in fairly poor condition.
The author also went on to create a youtube video on the topic and trialed several Caswell products which I was then surprised to find that they were available in Australia (Vic). I ordered the black buffering compound and 3 x 4" Sisal wheels to trial and see what type of result would be achieved.
I have attached a couple of pics - red boxes - polished, yelloe - not-polished.
End result - happy with product. It is fairly quick to do. I beleive it would take about an hour to polish each keg. Only down side - the 'old' angle grinder gets a reasonable work out and polishing cream did end up all over the place, but i would not let these two minor issues stop anyone from having a go.
Total cost including freight - a tad over $40.00
