So I got lazy and left 6 1 gallon jugs full of oxyclean for a few weeks. Just rinsed them and noticed some were hazy, others had a ring around the water line in them. Did not scrub off with a bottle brush. I was able to scrub some with a scotchbrite pad but obviously that will not work inside the whole jug.
I searched on here and found some mention of residue from oxyclean and using vinegar and hot water to remove. Was this just because I left it too long? I have not noticed it in carboys before. Usually rinse them in a day or so. Is this what I have going on? Should I be rinsing my kegs with vinegar too since I cannot see if there is residue as easily in them? What is the recommended ratio of vinegar to water? I have a big o\'ole just of distillad white vinegar awaiting...
How hard is it to then rinse the vinegar out?
