Best cleaning solution

[NzBrewerMatt]

Hey all, I have a stainless steel fermenter that's been left outside open for a few weeks while it's not been used. I forgot about it when I went away

I'm wondering what would be the best product to get this back to fully clean would be. Any suggestions? Would PBW be enough or will I need something stronger?

I want to use it to ferment beer in next weekend.

Thanks!

Flame suit on but all i have used for the last 18 years is diluted non scented household bleach for cleaning bottles, equipment and a 4ltr mini keg.

PBW will do the job, definitely not bleach for stainless steel.

If not PBW you can use caustic, especially hot caustic will do a very thorough job on stainless. Can get it at bunnings if need be. Make sure you were gloves and safety glasses when using it though. It's not to be played around with.

A strong PBW ratio to hot water should do it, then consider passivating it - http://howtobrew.com/book/appendices/appendix-b/passivating-stainless-steel
