Thanks for the amount. This will be for my plastic items bucket, racking cane, tubing, bottle filler. Is there a way of getting around the overnight part? It is pretty clean as i rinsed it well after my first use and would like to use them tonight would a few hours work if rinsed well after?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Well, "clean" is clean. If it's not dirty, you don't have to let it sit in oxiclean overnight. I clean my equipment right after using, so when I go to use it again I just do a quick rinse to get rid of any dust and then sanitize it.

I clean my stuff right after i use it, so an overnight soak never bothers me. if it is relivavley clean, 1-2 hours should be fine.
an overnight soak of my fermenter (AlePail) and the kruzen stuck on the side is gone, no scrubbing needed, just a good rinse.
Thank you very much for your answers. I just joined this forum today but have been reading the threads for about a month my first batch turned out great and my second is ready to bottle hence the question. Thanks again!!
