Default primary fermenter and bleach

Water and bleach will only sanitize your bucket... Many of us use
bleach to clean our equipment. Rinse it thoroughly in hot water and
it will be as good as new.

I use bleach to keep my primary ferment bucket clean. Just rinse a lot.

One extended instruction. After using bleach on equipment and rinsing it,
let it dry before use. Any residual chlorine will evaporate along with the
water. Just added insurance.
