Sanitize for that Perfect Brew
The cleanliness of the equipment you use for home made brewing is crucial to the success of your brew. Using inappropriate materials or not cleaning your equipment thoroughly will affect the taste of your brew.
It is sufficient to clean your equipment with dish washing soap but not with soap meant for washing hands because it will leave behind a thin film of oil even after thorough rinsing. Such residue will affect the taste of your brew.
To prepare for your brew it is necessary to sanitize your equipment after cleaning and there are sanitizers that are made especially for such purpose. The aim of this step is to remove any trace of previous batches.
Special sanitizer is required to clean your equipment before you start on your next batch of brew because of the yeast that is used for the fermentation process. Yeast continues to interact with residual sugars until it is completely killed. If you do not get rid of all trace of yeast in the container from the previous fermentation it can ruin the quality of your future brew.
Therefore it is important that you thoroughly clean and sanitize your equipment before every brew. Cleaning and sanitizing always go hand-in-hand if a perfect brew is desired.
Cleaning and sanitizing does not only involve the fermentation containers but also the hoses, funnels, and strainer – anything that is needed throughout your home brewing process.
