Evening all,
I've just moved my current brew from the FV to a PB and wont be brewing another kit for a few weeks, I was wondering if it was safe to use a quarter cap of bleach in my 40 pint bucket with my filters and paddles and everything in it to kill any unwanteds off, last time I left kit standing for a few weeks my siphon pipe had tiny mould spores in it even though I used it to syphon out the no rinse cleaner from a bucket i was sterilising at the time.
would this be a big no no? I'm sure I'd just need to rinse the equipment and re-sterilise with no rinse in a few weeks when I go to use it, but my concern in the mean time is to stop anything that might be there developing into a problem.
Thanks
