I was reading a thread on here about sanitizing that made me start panicking. Something along the lines that people don't even take wine/equipment in the kitchen if vinegar is used in there.
I'd just racked some wine in another room and some equipment was drying in the kitchen after being sanitized there. I'd taken out a bottle of apple cider vinegar earlier today and placed it on the counter near it, I store about 8 different types of vinegar in the cabinet under where my equipment dries.
How much of an issue is this? I have weeks before I bottle my first batch and have a lot to learn. I think I probably don't have anything to worry about if I am not opening the vinegar while I have equipment out if the surfaces are santized, but maybe paranoid is good.
I was afraid to go into the half bath where my wine is all set up after I put the bottle away though in case evil vinegar bacteria was clinging to me like doom or something. I wish I had a better set-up but there is no way I can clean my equipment anywhere but the kitchen.
