I'm with you, I don't use it, but one of the local wineries near me said they use it to clean many things, then rinse the heck of of it
That works every time except the last one ....I'm with you, I don't use it, but one of the local wineries near me said they use it to clean many things, then rinse the heck of of it
The industry point of view, run an alkaline cleaner followed by an acid rinse. (the bishaun dog can get decolonized by washing with vinegar) Tanks are not built to have a brush in them. Chlorine is an oxidizer, the compatible with wine version would be an oxidizing cleaner. This doesn’t necessarily remove the organics but removes the color so the stainless looks clean, ,,, metabisulphite decolonizes lots of pigments.interesting comment. I use bleach all of the time cleaning carboys with no problemos ever
wow - interesting - not in my rotation! sorry - i make a lot of wine - i can't take any chancesinteresting comment. I use bleach all of the time cleaning carboys with no problemos ever
If it's not too bad, cleaner and eggshells will do the trick!Low tech answer: Abrasives.
Cleaner, with sharp masonry sand added. Swirl like crazy. Works every time.
I tried that for the same issue. Didn’t work.put 1/4 cup of bleach in each 1 and fill them up with water to soak for 48 hours
you don't know if its exactly the same issue or not.I tried that for the same issue. Didn’t work.
You are correct. Let me know if it cleans the glass.you don't know if its exactly the same issue or not.
I am in the habit of doing at least a brief soak in One Step. Folks get antsy about scratches in the plastic holding bacteria, but a good liquid cleaner like One Step gets into all the nooks and crannies, so I don't worry about it.It may be perfectly usable for wine making, just might require a strict cleaning protocol moving forward. An etched surface MAY be more susceptible to hiding material which will require a diligent cleaning regimen.
