Ok. Part long story with a question part angry venting. I've been out of town with work for three months. I got back today and checked on all the kegged beer, and it all tastes great the forced aging worked good for them. Then I decided to check on the lager I had in the fermentation cabinet. I opened it up to keg and then it broke my heart. A pelicile. It looked just like Brett beer I've done in the past (completely different equipment though). I hoped it was just some weird side effect from the amylase. No dice, its infected, sour cherry and the general funk flavor actually not bad but that's neither here nor there.
So now I need to nuke my brewery to get rid of this nemises. Here in lies the question, what do I ditch and what needs to be cleaned in a weapons grade solution of cleaner. All the pre boil stuff should be cool, MLT, HLT, and kettle right? I transfer my wort post boil through the pump to the fermenter so that hose should be OK from the residual heat of the boiling wort but tubing is cheap, so I will cut that out and replace it. I will trash the fermenter, but can I save my airlocks or trash them too? I never siphoned so that should be good. Anything I am forgetting?
