Before people beat me over the head, I know I am an idiot.
So I let my two 7 gal stainless steel kettles with double ports, two bazooka screens, and a hop spider sit half rinsed for a week covered with lids. Mostly due to laziness, then getting sick and postponing.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on proper cleaning to remove possible mold spores and bacteria cultures.
Also, if I can confidently use my equipment in future brews.
To be noted: the mash vessel was rinsed more thoroughly and had far less evidence of contamination. The mash vessel kettle had one bazooka screen and I stored the hop spider in it. The boil vessel kettle had the largest evidence of mold and bacteria contamination with spores in at most approximate 1 inch diameter on the bazooka screen in about 5 to 8 spots.
Sorry no photos. Im gracious for advice. Cheers, just not with the mold spores!
