Hi all, This is my cleaning regime for equipment :!: i.e FV's a quick wash out with hot soapy water, measure 2L of water with 2.5ml of Videne solution into FV a quick wash around covering full FV & lid ! I always rinse with cold water ! but some say at 1.25ml of videne per litre of water there is no need to rinse ! I always do its just force of habit :oops: Never had any problems with off beers etc ! I always keep a 1L spray bottle with 1.25ml videne in to spray spoons and paddles and hydrometers prior to taking gravity readings :wink: I think some folks take sanitation to the extreme :shock: Not sure if thats down to Noobs reading up and panicking about making sure everything is sterilised.

Just my tupence worth

Cheers DC :wink:
