Alright, i just cooked up my first batch, its sitting at 81 degrees in my kitchen and dropping. Im just afraid that i will have an infection problem.
I cleaned and thought i sanitized everything, i mean everything in bleach, then rinsed in as hot as i could get water about 20 times. I sanitized the spoon i used to stir, set it in a sanitized cup, pulled it out, stirred and stuck it back in, is that a bad thing??
Is it just anxiety? or should i be afraid. (guess it doesnt pay to worry now)
What do you guys do about your stirring spoon? I know its sanitized while its boiling, but what about when you guys are chilling your wort? The 2 books and video i saw told me to stir the wort as it was cooling, to make the sediment collect in the middle and not have any at the edges so you can syphon.
