Hi all,
I was wondering if this is diatoms. Things I've do so far, 3 bleach baths, 24 boiled kettles of water, countless scrubbing, it's persistent what ever it is just keeps coming back.
Boiling in a pot not an option the wood is to big, dishwasher I don't have one
. Do I just leave it and let nature take it's course the tank isn't fully cycled yet, any and all ideas are welcome.
Cheers,
Heintz.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

If you're referring to the white stuff that is not diatoms. It is likely some kind of mould or fungus.

Thanks TT,
Yep it's just wood fungus.
I'll let it run its course, Its harmless, and will eventually go away and shrimp will eat it.
Goldvine seems to get it a lot more than other wood.Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams. -
I had the same thing in my goldvine. It went away in a few months.

Diatoms are spots of brown algae.
Usually on your glass or plants
