Your need to use Nitric acid to pacify stainless--phosphoric won't cut
it.

Hi,
I think I saw some postings on this subject before. It
has recently come to my attention that my method for
cleaning up my 1/2 barrell kegs (using the 3M green
scrubby pads) actually takes off some of the SS
protective coating. I am curious if I can re-passify
teh SS by using phosphoric acid. Does anyone know the
"recipe" for doing this? I have not noticed any off
flavors, or oxidation as of yet, but was curious of
others' opinions of this etc., and if it is a
reasonable course of action to pursue ...
Thanks,
WH

Sorry if this is an elementary question but what does "pacifying" SS do?
Thanks!

Oh, I guess all I need to do is read the other 50 messages in my inbox and
I'll know ALL there is about pacifying SS! Sweet!
