Bottling this afternoon, have a quick question

[Schuey102000]

I'm planning on bottling a Honey Ale this afternoon that is currently in a secondary. I also have an IPA that is ready to be transfered to another secondary.

Is it necesarry for me to wash and resanitize in between these two jobs. I was planning on syphoning the IPA into the secondary, then moving straight to bottling. Everything will be sanitized right before I do both.

Sorry if this has been posted before, I wasn't quite sure what search terms to use for this question.

Thanks.

Your fine just keep a bucket of sanitizer do you can use it on each

Yeah do this but don't think that sanitizing will wash it... you need to get all of the gunk off of your gear before you can sanitize it.

I haven't done that yet, only have one batch bottled so far. But it seems like it would be a good idea to sanitize in between on the off chance that you transfer contamination from one batch to the other. It might not matter that much, but I'd rather spend a few extra minutes cleaning/sanitizing than have a batch of beer not turn out.

PBW & starsan will go a long way here. Clean well Then sanitize right before use.

Good point, thanks for all the input.
