Cleaning and Rinsing

Yes and on your brewday burn it with Hot water or recirculate boiling wort through it to heat sanitize it. This type is far less likely to cause problems then a plate and frame, but also far less efficient.

I would be very careful scrubbing a PET fermenter because any scratches can hold onto bugs. depending on what the temp rating is, you could also heat it up to heat sanitize. Same with ALL of your hoses and fittings.

Grain dust is also a serious infection point just a heads up!

Always recirculate through CFC in the last 10 minutes of the boil.
Use a microfiber cloth for cleaning the PET fermenter, but not sure if that is a good idea if I use PBW mixture

that shouldnt be a problem. a soft scrubby would be fine as well. I really like scrubdaddies.

Good news!
The last batch I was a bit worried about, has turned out amazing!
There was a little bity of suds forming when I pumped hot water from the mash/boil kettle to the sparge water kettle.
Had me worried...
