I have the opportunity to get some free carboys that are currently being used to turn wine into vinegar. This is one instance where I'm thinking it would be ok to violate the "no chlorine" rule. I was thinking I would bathe them inside and out with bleach and detergent, rinse thoroughly a few times, and then give a heavy extended dose of K-meta. I read somewhere that k-meta works to neutralize the possible ill effects of chlorine around wine production. Am I being paranoid about acetobacter? Chlorine? I have 3 or 4 kinds of vinegar in my kitchen and the cooties haven never escaped into my wine before.
