Jan, Between batches of CS I use over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide to get the silver plating off my brewing glass. I pour 1-2 oz in my glass and it fizzes when it makes contact with the silver residue. I roll my jar around so the peroxide comes in contact with every part of the inside of the glass, and then I rinse 3X throughly with distilled water.
I use the peroxide to clean my silver wires too -- just let them roll around while I'm cleaning the glass. Then I wipe them off and rinse them 3X also. No amount of washing with soap and hot water seems to do as thorough a job as the peroxide.
