Greetings!
I work in a Denny's, and we get our pickles in big 5 gallon buckets, with those nice tight sealing lids (complete with a rubber gasket!). So ive been thinking. If i could remove the residual pickle smell, i could have an unlimited number of 5 gallon fermentation buckets! (so long as i keep working there, or remain friends with the people there...)
So, how would you recommend i go about removing the pickle smell? i was thinking a bleach water solution and scrubbing it with a soft scrubby pad, the green ones, that wouldnt scratch the plastic, then filling it up and letting it sit for a few days. a few good rinses afterwards should leave a clean bucket, right?
