If you had to HATE one thing about Homebrewing...
|
|
Sanitization!
I decided around 8:00 pm last night to bottle my latest brew - it was close to 1:00 am when I was done and cleaned up... We all know the majority of this time was spent sanitizing the bottles! Absolutely hate it! (but love it).
What's your homebrew pet peeve?

I don't mind sanitizing as much as cleaning.

That's a LONG time for bottling a batch of beer! How many gallons was it? It takes me 2 hours at the most for 5.5 gallons, and that includes washing and sanitizing bottles!
If I HATE one thing, it's clean-up!

It was a 5 gallon batch... Let's just say I was very anal about sanitizing and had to give some time for my priming sugar solution to cool down (that probably took up a chunk of it). Also bottling alone is kinda tricky, and apparently VERY messy! |

dr sanch... get yourself a Vinator. It makes sanitizing bottles super fast, and easy! It's one of the best gadgets I ever purchased!

You just gave me something to do on my lunch break tomorrow. Vinator it is! (and yes, I'm impulsive like that)  |

Actually I kind of like the cleaning/sanitizing. It reminds me of back when I worked as a dish washer in a restaurant: I could just turn off my mind and let my muscles go as I scrubbed pots, pans and silverware. It was a very relaxing time.
What I'm not a big fan of is having to remember to swap out the ice in my ferm chamber regularly, especially since I live in the Arizona desert.
