cleaning contamed jars
    #6753286 - 04/06/07 07:09 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

ok heres a method I use that works great and the jarrs are like new again....
  pressure cook them first
  then inject bleach into the jars before dumping them
  dump
  I tried using bleach water to clean out the rest of the way but they smelled horrible still  so heres what I did....
  I learned in homebrewing the best way to clean glass was with caustic soda "LYE" "drain cleaner"
  so I filled jars with cold water and dumped in some lye and let sit for about 10 minutes
  rinsed and used a stiff bristled bottle brush
Bammm    like new again  :cool:
  also I placed caps in lye water and rinsed
 
  the thing is theres tiny pores in glass even and lye will get right in and clean it out

If you boil them for an hour, you can simply dump the contents and wash with soap and water. I've been doing that for over 20 years.

no smell left in the jars???
  I worked at a brewery and caustic soda is the norm for cleaning out fermenters
  I am sure if you say soap and water works it will though.

Believe it or not, I put my contaminated grain jars in the microwave for 2 minutes prior to dumping them. I've been doing that for a while now. I don't have arching problems with the metallic canning lids if you can buy that.
