Stain in fermenting bucket ok?

[bjlasota]

Just finished bottling my first brew. I cleaned the plastic fermenter with soap and a soft sponge, then let it sit for 24 hours with oxyclean. After rinsing out, there is a stain on the bucket. Is this ok for brewing my next batch or do I somehow need to get the bucket spotless? How would I get it spotless?

Beer and/or iodophor stains are typically OK as long the bucket is cleaned of everything else.

Stains will happen with darker beers, my primary bucket only is white still on the top where no wort sits with 5 gallons in it.

I've used my bottling bucket as a primary fermenter and it has developed some stains, but it hasn't been anything that has affected other beers. Scrub and sanitize, as always, and you'll be fine.
