Bleach and lime get the job done eh.
Standard ratio of 1.25 Tbsp of bleach per gallon?
Nothing bad grows on the straw normally.

The exact ratio.. Hmm, unsure... I think that's like a 5-6 gallon thing I used, put like a cup of beach or so and 4-5 tablespoons of lime. One time I put way to much lime and nothing would take to it at all, but that lil bit, still, goes far and adjusts the ph bad for contams, ok for mycelium spawn stuff. Just a few spoons. The bleach I kinda just dumped it in there, but my estimate was about a cup.

To drain it I just dumped that thing upside down and let it sit outside for two days since I was busy Had a tiny tiny tiny hint of bleach smell left which went away after I put it in that bag and had it open for 15 min.
