How likely is contamination in an average batch? Good discussion here. One important note - you mentioned sterilizing and sanitizing. Most brewers never sterilize anything - sterilizing requires special equipment like in a doctors office, and can't generally be achieved at home. As the above people mentioned, sanitizing is necessary for anything that comes in contact with post-boil wort, but for anything like your boil kettle or spoon for stirring, just make sure they're clean, you don't want cob webs getting into your beer if you haven't used the equipment in a while. |
