QUESTION:due to marital restraints (!) I store my fermenting bins in the
garage. I just wondered if there was any point in leaving them filled
with sterilising solution (I use Bruclens) and then just rinsing them
out when needed.
Or would I be better off sterilising and rinsing when needed, and
covering them in plastic bags when stored ?
ANSWER: I'm not familiar with Bruclens but I believe the effectiveness of most
sterilizing solutions fades as they age, some faster than others. Unless you
are talking short term storage I would just sterilize on brew day. Also, in
my neck of the woods, everything needs to be stored dry and open to air
circulation. Covering or sealing things in plastic is a sure invitation for
mold.
