I picked up a 5 gallon carboy this weekend at a steal! 3.00!<?amespace prefix = o ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Just what I needed because I only have 2 6.5 gallon carboys and I have two batches at 4.5 gallons that I will need advice on in another post.
Anyways, this bargain carboy had some oven cleaner or 409 in it, I flushed it out, cleaned it with PBW cleaner, and noticed that it has a lot of that haze in it—much like what glass looks like after many cycles through the dishwasher.
I remember seeing a posted discussion on this, but can’t find it.
If I let some water/ vinegar mixture sit in it for a while, do you think that may take some of that haze off? And even if it doesn’t after all the cleaning, brushing and k-meta do ya think that it is good enough to use –even though it won’t be as clear as I hoped—just a little worried what might have been in there in the first place( or later in it’s life) to cause that.
