I just got a brand new chest freezer to ferment in, and i thought i noticed a few weird black spots after a couple days using it. I could easily rub them off no problem, didn't think twice. But now i'm noticing that this is probably mold growing in there. Sorry for the bad photos, but here we go..
Photo 1: there's some mold growing around the edge of this guy, there's a doppelbock resting in that right now.
Photo 2: another fermenter just sitting in as the temp probe.
Photo 3: the ledge in there, i had a fermenter sitting on top of it a couple days ago.
I had two glass carboys in there, i'm hoping mold couldn't sneak through the rubber stoppers?? And i'm also hoping that mold isn't sneaking through the plastic fermenter in there?
I'm going to rerack that doppelbock into some glass soon, and when i do, i plan on cleaning the freezer, the question is how? Should i put some Starsan on a sponge and scrub it down? Bleach? Baking Soda?? Just soap and water?
