    Changing The Method Of Sanitizing My Bottles

    FYI Adding the Vinegar (Acetic Acid) to the Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) help in the conversion of the Sodium Hypochlorite to the Active Chlorine (Hypochlorous Acid). The optimum pH for this conversion is about pH 6.5 or less but pH 6.5 is the target for sanitising.

So there is usally condensation on the bottom of the freezer. That if left the yeast spores and mould...

    Rain Water

    Depending on the water source you have access to Tap water can vary so much. Newcastle and Central Coast water is really soft.
