I just store the CS in the mason jar I make it in. I have several jars and just keep rotating them. They do not ordinarily need to be cleaned and will not normally "contaminate" your next batch. If you get deposits on the sides or bottom of the jar, you can try putting some drug store h2o2 in the jar, cover and shake vigorously. Then rinse well with distilled water. You can also scrape with a stainless steel spoon or butter knife. Don't use any soap or other cleaners, they will contaminate. New jars are usually good, but rinse first with distilled water. Use the one piece plastic jar tops, not the two piece metal canning tops.

Hi, I am new here (obviously!) and have read many post about CS storage. I should have my silvergen "sg6" in the mail on Thursday, and I'm a little confused on the proper storage. I gathering they should be "PET" bottles with the number 1 or 2 in the triangle, correct? Can somebody please tell me a "specific" type (name brand) of these bottles that you have used with success? Also, how do you clean out a "used" one of these bottles to make sure it doesn't contaminate a fresh batch of CS? One more question (for now at least, lol!) If i use a new "canning jar" to make my CS, should the jar be cleaned before i make a batch? How? I'm sorry for i know this has been discussed already, i just cant seem to find where! Thank you all so much!
