So, as a beginner, my biggest fear in cleanliness. I have all the equipment to start brewing and even have Star-San and Iodophor.
The equipment is still in their original boxes... Should I Oxy-Clean all items first? (Primary, carbouys, hoses, locks, etc...) If so, do I need to submerge in a solution? If so, what do you recommend for a submersion vessel?
For sanitizing, is submersion required or is a spray bottle fine? I hear Iodophor is good for glass and Star-San for plastic. True? Or doesn't it matter?
When cleaning and sanitizing, is tap water okay to use?
