I left a few fermentation vessels in my garage for about 6 weeks. Well I'm planning a brew tomorrow so I have just come to set up for it and have seen that I left them full of water from my last brewday.

Mostly sodium percarbonate that I was soaking them in to remove scum, but obviously the scum had dislodged and was floating about in there as well.

Needless to say there were some pretty interesting growths in there indeed. I've rinsed it out and have thrown some more SP in there. Anything else you would do (apart from the usual sanitiser)?
