My uncle gave me all of his old equipment which included grolsch bottles, carboys, rubber stoppers, and airlocks. All the equipment has been in his basement for a while now (9 years ish) so of course I have my concerns with how clean they are!
Glass carboys no problem throw them on my keg/carboy washer.
Grolsch bottles no problem lots of scrubbing. He did give me an unopened bag of washers for them so they will be replaced.
Now to the rubber stoppers.... How can I clean them to be sure they dont have any nasties? Should I just chuck them? Same goes for the plastic airlocks.
Under normal circumstances I would soak in pbw and rinse good but these babies were musty!
