Here are some tips for taking care of your Stout Conical Fermenters, Brew Kettles, and the like.
- Never use steel wool, stainless steel wool, Brill-O Pads, etc. Use a sponge or at the most a blue "scrubby." Avoid green scrubbies from 3M as they will scratch the mirror polished finish.
- After each use, disassemble the valves (it is very easy to do) and clean the parts. Beer and other liquids can get trapped inside the body and ruin your next batch of beer. This is why we made the valves so easy to disassemble – if it is hard – or even a minor pain to do - many people won't do it.
- Never use bleach as a sanitizer. It corrodes stainless steel.
- Use a bottle brush or test tube brush to clean out the inside of the side outlet port.
