Brewing Up a Storm: Preparation

Getting ready now to make that actual beer. One of the most important things before you go and mix your wort is to make sure that all you equipment is clean. One of main reasons for home brew not working out is that your yeast gets infected. Make sure you give everything a good clean with hot water and a cloth. Don't use any detergents or clean agents just leave em soak and the wipe them down with a cloth.


Once everything is good a clean then you need to sanitise/sterilise the equipment. So just pile everything into the fermenter fill it hot water and some unscented bleach. Leave this for a good bit maybe a half hour. Then rinse everything with hot water to get rid of the chlorine smell as much as possible. As you can see I did it in the bath. This is the closest my beer will come to a bath I promise.
