    I picked up a couple food grade 55 gal barrels that had vinegar previously stored in them. I want to use these for extra storage water and am wondering what is the best way to sanitize these? Bleach bath and good rinse with power washer or something else?

    I would just give them a good wash down and a few rinse down and should be good to go.

    usually you clean with vinegar, so if it had vinegar you should be fine. If it smells too much, give it a baking soda bath.

    Should be fine with a good rinse being it only had vinegar in it.
