BillsFanNC Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Feeling lucky? http://www.brewingtechniques.com/library/b...1.2/raines.html 425416[/snapback] In the homebrewing environment you can't realistically hope to sterilize your equipment unless you happen to have an autoclave in your home. Sanitization is all that is necessary. Also, if you build a good yeast starter in log growth phase when pitching into your wort it will take over fermentation long before any bacteria can take hold.
