So the water in my basement is apparently not hooked up to our water softener, which means a lot of minerals. So far, hasn't caused a problem (don't brew with it) but I've been using the utility sink down there to clean my stuff before and after brew day and make up my StarSan.
I had just rinsed off my wine thief but needed to use it quickly so I sprayed some Isopropyl Alcohol on it to do a quick sanitize and now it's got a really icky white film on the inside and out. I was able to scrub it off the outside and get most of the inside with my bottle brush, but it's not long enough to reach the last 1" or so of the bottom of the device.
The bottom of the device will not come off so I can't go in the other direction with the brush. I don't want to use this in my beer until I'm certain it's clean. I soaked it on Saturday for over an hour in warm water, and Star San, but the white film is still there.
Should I just chuck it and buy a new one?
