Mold in bucket

[jspence1]

Clearly I didn't completely dry my buckets after I cleaned them last, and I have some mold growing on the bottoms of them. I've been soaking them in bleach for the last 30 minutes. I'm a little worried about using these to brew in now.

The problem is I'm already mashing and I have no other fermentors. Do I cut my losses and stop of go for it and hope for the best?

If you can bleach the mold out, and rinse very well with hot water, I think they'd be ok.

This is a good lesson for me, Check everything before I put it away. Thanks yooper, I'm going to soak in bleach for the mash and rinse the heck out of it and then continue on like normal. I'm feeling lucky today.
