Well when i first made up the wort i let everything soak with 1 step in my fermenter. 1 tablespoon per gallon. i then with out thinking just rinsed all the stuff off in hot hot hot water. poured the wort in and let it sit.
So as i was reading more i relized that you dont need to rinse it. So when it came time to transfer from primary to 2nd carboy i just let the carboy soak for a while then siphoned all the one setp, about 5 gallons, to a rubber maid bin and let all the tubes and other stuff in there while i drained out the carboy till there was no more drops. then shook off all the tubes and stuff to get most of all the sanitizer off. then transfered to the carboy.
so i let the tubs and what not soak over night after i wased out the primary and put the one step from the rubbermaid bin to the primary and let everything soak over night. morning came i emptyed out the primary and put everything into the bin. Well today i went to where i keep all the stuff and where there where drops of the one step water left ont eht tubes there was now a residue of one step in all thoes spots. i tasted it and it was a salty bitter taste to it.
So my question is when i go to clean the bottles should i rinse them off or just leave them as dry as possible before i start bottling. I dont want my beer tasting like one step.
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW. dont worry, Have.........................
but what do you guys and gals think sould i rinse after soaking with one step? or will that residue not even effect the taste of the beer? all the people that use blech have to rinse like crazy and i never read about them haveing infections from the tap water.
Or maybe a better question would be has anyone ever tasted one step in your beer or have the be what ruined your batch.
