BradleyBrew Well-Known Member Joined Nov 12, 2010 Messages 1,752 Reaction score 104 Location Parris Island Mar 24, 2013 #10 I would clean it with a brewery cleaner, then let it sit for a day or two with a proper ratio of bleach & water. Then reclean with hot water and oxy clean. Then sanitize as normal for your next batch.
