Cleaning stainless drums

[TylerMcT]

What's the best method to clean stainless bulk drums which have just been emptied of last years syrup?

If I didn't own a pressure washer (and I don't), I would use hot water, maybe some bleach, and a car type scrub brush. But I'm a newbie, so...

Just lots of hot water

Do you folks in Michigan like Clorox flavored syrup? Please use just hot water. The new international grade system does not have a grade for clorox syrup.

when i get new kegs 15.5 gal ( used for beer ) with some leftovers in them. i empty, rinse, bleach, pressure wash a handleful of times dumping all liqiud in between , air dry them, and give them a smell test and a flashlight look ...... after ive used them for syrup i just rinse with the power washer and dry them, no bleach or chemicals after the initial cleaning as you would have eatin the last product that came out of it . not like the old rotten beer vomit that was in them prior to me using them
