Seaweed? - 6/7/2011 11:13:49 AM    randgrithr   Posts: 181 Joined: 9/14/2008 Status: offline A lot of the bottles I brought back from DHB have a thin accumulation of seaweed growth on both inside and outside of the bottle. It gives the bottle a reddish or sometimes greenish tinge. What's the best way to get rid of it? Eileen Post #: 1

You might also have success with a bottle brush or copper pellets (which can scrub the inside). (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 3
