Hey everyone,
Long story short I had to store my brewing gear in a basement space while moving. I'm brewing today and discovered that there has been mold growing in my bottling bucket. I left a Zymergy issue in the bucket while moving and it began growing your run-of-the-mill household green, orange, and while bread mold. There was some mold on the inside of the. Bucket and where the spigot hole is. I currency have it soaking in hot water, oxyclean, and some bleach. I use starsan for brewing but I figured bleach would be best for preventing a serious mold contamination.
Will this soak suffice? Or should I just pitch it and buy a new bottling bucket? The bottling spigot and my main fermenter were clean and covered. Only the bottling bucket had mold. Thanks!
