Prepare yourself for a very basic question, please. I'm getting ready to make batch #4. I aerate my chilled wort by whisking it (and the water addition), pouring it back and forth between brew pot and primary bucket, and swinging and shaking the primary bucket. My question is about a sanitizing step I take in the midst of this.
For the past 3 batches, when I have poured the cooled wort into the primary bucket, I've washed out the brewpot, and then also sanitized it. Then I start the process of pouring some wort back and forth between the bucket and the pot to aerate.
Am I taking an unnecessary step by sanitizing the pot? Thanks!
