I started off with AG and have never done an extract batch , Also I am a bit of a beer snob and like the big beers also. Right now I have bottled my hophead IIPA that evens out at a nice 8.9% and tastes wonderfull it is entered in Sam Adams home brew contest, and in my secondary is my dubbel...

I think it was to much of a concentration I am using one step , still would it be safe just to rinse after sanitizing just as precautionary. I know it is not the hops though it is a highly hoped beer 99 IBU,S and is wonderfull except for the slight tinge of sourness left by sanitizer same efect...
