primary fermenter and bleach

Apr 25, 2004 4 Replies

someone took the bucket I was using for a primary fermenter and put water and bleach in it. Am I going to need to get a new bucket now?


Water and bleach will only sanitize your bucket... Many of us use bleach to clean our equipment. Rinse it thoroughly in hot water and it will be as good as new.

I use bleach to keep my primary ferment bucket clean. Just rinse a lot. Darlene

One extended instruction. After using bleach on equipment and rinsing it, let it dry before use. Any residual chlorine will evaporate along with the water. Just added insurance.
