Unpacking

So I have been in the process of moving cross country.  I've been busy unpacking and trying to get stuff organized.  I can happily say that it seems that 5 cases of empty bottles, 2 3 gallon carboys, a 6 gallon carboy and about 6 one gallon carboys all made the trip safely.  As well as a number of growlers.  Well...one had something funky growing in it.
 Luckily I was transferring some beverages, I plan to be bottling at some point this week or so, I wanted to get them off any extra trub that had developed so that they can be clear as possible going into the bottle. (Which is kinda funny, seeing as how when I started about 3 years back I remember telling my brother that I didn't care so much if it was clear so long as it tasted good.  But as it happens I actually am entering competitions.)  But since I was cleaning other bottles I figured I'd see if it would help my growler to free itself of the funk.
  I've been using is to use oxiclean free to let it soak some instead of using PBW.  Mostly since its a lot easier to run down to the grocery store and pick some up.  Then sanitize with Starsan.  Happily after letting the oxiclean sit in the funky growler, everything rinsed out.  For good measure I sanitized it before putting it back on the shelf, looks good now.


   Anyhow, I've got very projects coming up.  I need to build my new homebrewery, build a brew set up and build a bar. It should be fun.
