I had pretty much rationalized to myself the same thing, people have been making alcohol for thousands of years, surely the occasional slip up of hygiene won't ruin a brew! I think I have only ever seen Fosters for sale once in Australia. It's all over the place in the UK though! At the moment...

That's what we Australians call micro brews, for some reason. It pretty much translates to 'expensive beer'. If you have ever has Australian mass produced beer you will know its worth every cent!

Thanks heaps for the response guys, you have put my mind at ease. My first brew has only just been poured into bottles, so I will have to kick back with a store bought craft beer instead!

Thanks heaps for the response! I think I'll opt for the second one.

I bottled my first brew, an IPA, and realized afterwards that for all my bottle sanitizing, I forgot to sanitize the caps! They were fresh from the packet, but obviously this doesn't mean they will be sterile. Will this have any disastrous effects, or will it be ok? Thanks for your help!
