Hi all, just got myself a new brewfridge off ebay. It is only about 6-7years old but needs a good cleanout - mould around part of the seals, odours etc.
My natural inclination is to use bleach since it will kill all the mould and odour. A little research has left me confused as to whether it is OK... some places on the web suggest bleach for fridge cleaning and others suggest it may cause corrosion? Many places suggest using Sodium Bicarb for your fridge but I cannot see how this would kill all the nasty microbes that want to have an orgy in my brew.
Any experts out there know which chemical to sanitise an old fridge to brewing standards without causing it to rust? :unsure:
