Water Cooler Bottles.

[aamcle]

I've just picked up 2 x 19 litre bottles a good size FV for the half size batches I hope to make.
Although I can get a bottle brush in and even work a 'pull through' through the handle I think chemical cleaning is the way to go.

So to remove yeast residue, scum and the stuff that seems to glue it's self to the sides I'm thinking after a wash out with good shake, a hot water and bleach soak, rinse, then an oxyclean (aldi brand it's worked so far) soak, rinse, sterilise with StarSan.

Is that going to do it or do I need some specialist cleaner? How much thin bleach?

I think you'll be ok. All I use on all my fermentors is a good soak with Oxy and not had any issues since. Granted I can reach these to give them a scrub, however I also used it to clean up a bunch of old demijons that were filthy and I couldnt get a brush into. and soaked these with a strong hot oxy soak and they came up good.
