Concerns with my plastic fermenter smell.

jbolte1976 · May 20, 2009

Hi everyone,

I brewed a batch of wine in my coopers primary bucket and I now have a "wine" smell in it. Do you guys have any suggestions for cleaning this out? Bleach and water maybe? Or should this smell not concern me?

:rockin:

Thanks gang,

JB

i use hot water and oxyclean "free" for everything and it works wonders....i wouldnt worry as long as you get it clean and sanitized for the next batch.

when using plastic, you really need a separate bucket for wine and another for beer.

otherwise your light beers like wit and kolsch will inherit some winey flavors.
and your lighter wines will gain hop aromas.

doesn't matter with glass. matters with plastic.
