Infected beer - What to do with my equipment

Edited: pompous assery. I think this thread is mostly done anyway.

Just as an update, I tasted this beer and it tastes pretty nice currently. It's only been conditioning for a few days, so it's not ready. When I poured it it had a 2 finger head and was pretty clear (not crystal clear but almost). Other than a slight bitterness and a flat taste, there were no off-tastes to this beer.

So did the OP not have a problem after all?

I soak my fermenter and bottling bucket in bleach. My dilution rate, hmm let's see why does everyone over think everything .

this.

i use starsan (i like the bubbles and it smells nice), but i have used bleach with good sucess. splash, add water. **** it, its bleach. just make sure you rinse it when you're done.

So far so good. I'll be trying the beer tonight again to see if there are any off flavors. Last time I tasted it there was a bitterness to it that was not supposed to be there, but I believe that's due to the fact that I didn't whirlpool and there was hop pellet sediment in my primary for 4 weeks lol.

is oven sterilization not an option? this should kill everything that might survive normal sanitation, correct?

The beer brewed with this equipment turned out to be wonderful. Crystal clear with no off flavors.
