Yes, I'm quite familiar with that stuff. I just don't worry about it. It
doesn't hurt anything. If there is really a lot, which tends to happen
when making gallon batches, I leave it behind when I decant the major
portion of the EIS. I leave it in the brew jar and don't worry about it.
It doesn't seem to affect further batches. Once or twice a year I clean
my brew jars with the peroxide to dissolve it all off. But basically, it
just isn't a problem.
Now if a jar gets a lot of "plating out" on the sides of the jar, that
can interfere with the process, so I clean a jar that shows that (it is
usually yellow colored and all on the sides of a brew jar).
