Cleaning after a diastaticus

[Zambi]

Any advice?
I use a Speidel fermenter, so I can't use boiling water.
I don't have access to a lot of the nore "standard" cleaning agents.
I got
Unscented dish washer
Chlorine
Vinegar
Salt
Caustic soda
Star san
And I think I got some oxyclean somehere

Zambi, I have used WLP 590 (French Saison) STA1: Positive a couple of times. I do the same thing that I do with every other yeast. Wash it out very well, wipe it down, and leave the Star San in it few a few days before I brew the next one. I go back and forth between the bucket and the fermenter I use on brew day, and I also run it though my auto syphon before I keg. I keep it in the keg for a few days too. Check the fitting on the keg and make sure those are washed and soaked with PB and Star San.

15 ml of household bleach per liter of water. You can add equal parts of vinegar to increase the free chlorine, thus increasing the bleach's killing power. Depending on the size of your fermenter you will need @ 4 liters. Adding a little dish soap may help with breaking up anything the bleach can't clean. Swish around several times over a 15-30 minute period.

Rinse with water to remove all soap and bleach. Rinse again with 4 liters of fresh water and 1 campden tablet to get rid of any residual chlorine (this will remove any chlorine smell), rinse again and then sanitize with Starsan.

Anything that can live through that deserves to live.

Do not do this trick with any metal.

Brew on!

I was assuming just a Saison yeast and not a sour writing about the Star San.

I used a saison yeast. Lallemand
Fermenter is only 10 litres.
I've not got any campden tablets, but still very tempted to go for the chlorine idea.
Then just put it outside in the sun till the chlorine smell is gone maybe

I agree with bleach, good rinse then let it dry in the air.

Staticus is tough to get rid of. it can live in soft parts like gaskets damn near indefinitely. We had to replace all of our soft parts and we still had it popping up occasionally... one of the many reasons i will never brew a Saison.

You can certainly use this method on SS...once.

I haven't had issues with the French and Belgian Saison yeasts. I've done 3 and getting ready to do a 4th the next time I brew Just keep the StarSan in the fermenter for a few days. To be sure, after I'm done, I'll put the Fermonster upside down in the StarSan bucket too.
