Do I really need to buy ANOTHER set of plastic equipment?

[m00ps]

Hey guys,

So I'm on my 3rd and 4th wild brews fermenting with my first two getting ever more tasty with age. I got a new set of plastics (bottling bucket, bottling wand, wine thief, tubing, etc) and dedicated my old set to use with my first one, which just had Brett.

My 2nd one had bacteria too and I used the same equipment to bottle it. If I want to keep my 3rd batch Brett/Sacch only, do I need to get a 3rd set of equipment? 1 for full-on wild, 1 for Brett, and 1 for clean brews? Or could I just PBW soak my current plastic set I use for wild beers?

Thanks!

I use one for every thing wild, Bret included, and one set for sac

I also don't differentiate between brett and bugs. Same stuff for both and my newer set for clean.

I'd sanatize it with StarSan for 24 hours or even 12 hours before using it for ther beers. American sours Book talks about how some breweries don't bother to change lines.

So you don't think my newesf Brett beer will be soured by using the same bottling bucket and racking equipment ?

I have three sets of plastic racking equipment: sac only, brett only, sour only. I'm sure you don't NEED three sets if your sanitation is sound, but why risk it? Plastic tubing and racking canes are cheap.

Agree, but Yeast Bay's Melange (Sac, Bret, Lacto, Pedio) must really F your system up, all three sets of equipment at the same time?





Apologies, my sense of humour is very sarcastic All meant in jest.

Clean with a bleach solution to kill the bugs and you should be OK.

Duplicate.

Exactly, me too. My theory is, if your not sanitizing and cleaning well enough to remove your own wild yeast strains, you've got other problems!

I use one set for sacc/brett and another for bacteria. Brett is yeast and isn't nearly as tiny as bacteria, so it doesn't hide as well as bacterias can. I've had no problems thus far.
