to start, I just can't find an easy way to sanitize my equipment. I just used Saniclean for the first time and I know that its a "no rinse" sanitizer but does that apply to everything I'm using, i.e. racking hose, bottle caps etc., or just to the carboy and bottles? I'm a little weary of not rinsing the hose especially because it holds a lot of moisture. What I did was sanitize my carboy and then poured the solution into a container for my other parts. When my other parts are sanitized, I'm not sure if I should let them air dry, if they are ok for use right away or what. The label on Saniclean says to keep away from where food is prepared, to keep it off of your skin etc. So if this stuff is so hazardous, how can it be safe to brew with if the equipment isn't fully dry? I was just hoping someone could tell me some tips or the way they go about sanitizing when brewing/bottling. Thanks
