Sanitation & Cleaning


After wort is produced, everything that comes into contact with it must be sterilized. This includes the hydrometer, hands, tubing, containers, spoons, anything. This is necessary to keep bacteria which love the sugary wort as much as yeast do away from it.

Essentially there are two processes involved. The first is cleaning. You cannot sterilize what isn’t clean, so first we clean, with hand power, heat, or chemical power. Next we sterilize. To do this we can use heat, or chemicals. Most brewers use chlorine, oxygen, or iodine to chemically sterilize their equipment.
