Hello everyone,
I did a quick forum search but I wasn't able to find a threat about my question. (although I found a few interesting threads such as how you know when you are no longer a n00b lol) In any case, I was curious what the popular view was on sanitizing a glass carboy and then covering the opening with sanitized aluminum foil until the carboy is filled days/weeks later. Would the carboy still be sufficiently sanitized?
I was cleaning and sanitizing a carboy and instead of just dumping all my iodiphor I felt that it would be better utilized by sanitizing an empty carboy I had lying around.
I'm sure I will get some replies about how I shouldn't have empty carboys and they should all be filled with some fermenting nectar of the gods, so I will put your fears at rest by saying I plan to fill it up next weekend.
Thanks and cheers!
