I get the feeling this has happened more than once reading AM posts so I discounted this tooo.

V strange.

Today I use these 60lt translucent fermenters from Brouwland https://www.brouwland.com/en/our-produc ... QFBGBjfWrU and since using these I've had no problems with any wash finishing at .990 and lower.

No explanation, no inciteful revelation to offer and I've given up trying to figure out why :D

They should have been OK after a simple rinse out.

Wine Makers do consider the shape of a fermenter to make a difference but that is not the issue here.

strange.

I use plastic tubs for fermenting in bulk. Warmer than SS.
Wrapped in electric blankets, then a sheet of foam and then bungees to hold it all together. I extreme cold lob an old quilt over the top of everything.

I like the controller on the electric blankets - simple but bang on.
£5 remote didgital temp probe - GSM sender - bingo..

I cannot say, definitively, that the blue barrels were the cause of the problem but the white 60Lt FVs I use never give such problems.

Probably just in my head ::)
