Hi guys,
Now that my first extract and AG brew is going to be done soon, Ill going to need to give the fermenters a good clean after bottling.
What do you guys use to clean your fermenters with?
I assume the cleaner / soap you use is important as you dont want to leave your fermenter soapy for the next brew.
I have a no rinse sanitizer which I will use after I have cleaned everything and just make up 2 litres and give everything a good swirl followed with a spray (sanitiser in a spray bottle).
Out of interest, I got this solution from an old thread, which is a home made no rinse sanitiser:
take 19L of cold tap water
add 30ml of household bleach, stir well
add 30ml of white vinegar, stir well
20-30secs contact time for effectiveness. If made up to this strength It does not require rinsing. Swish the stuff around and drain it out well.
Anyone tried this?
Cheers,
Robbie
