Sour Equipment and Sanitzation

[simonjn]

Hello,

I've heard that a lot of brewers buy completely separate equipment for any beers with Brett or lactobacillus, especially plastic equipment. Is it okay to reuse a glass carboy for clean beers after using Brett or lactobacillus, or does that need to stay separate too? Obviously I'd clean and sanitize the carboy, but even so, just wanted to ask in case I need to be extra precautious. Thanks.

It's ok to use then clean glass or stainless, but make sure you keep the stopper and airlock separate after that. Those can't be cleaned enough afterward.

Good to know, thanks!
