Exactly as the title suggests. I have two 25 litre fermenters that have been used for beer and cider (each one seperately) I have acquired a 60 litre fermenter in order to brew larger quantities of mead and cider for various functions etc, so what is the best method for cleaning a 60litre drum used primarily for beer that is earmarked for cider. Bearing in mind this will be it's only vocation from now on as I do not have the need to brew 60 litres of beer at a time. Is it possible to remove the taint from the beer that has been brewedin this fermenter previously?

I'd use idophor in a spray bottle. Simply spray all surfaces. The spray bottle allows you to get right inside and hit every spot.

What material is it?

Dogger

If it's plastic I'd soak it for a few days in a weak solution of milton or odourless bleach to get rid of the staining.

yes it is a plastic vat.
