1. Do you need to sanitise your hands if they need to come in contact with your grog eg. when shaking carboy with hand over top to degass? What sanitiser can I use while protecting my beautiful pinkys?
2. How long do sanitised utensils stay sanitised? Can you for example sanitise a hydrometer and leave it on a shelf for a couple of weeks before it is used?
3. Is there really any harm in using paper towels to dry sterilised equipment? Good quality kitchen roll would surely be cleaner than leaving equipment with water soaking up the dust in surrounding air?
4. Is it a good precaution to use brand new cork bungs for each brew?
5. Is it okay to clean, steralise and reuse a heavily soiled (from a previous brew) plastic polypin?
6. Can I use cheap vodka as a no rinse steriliser for small utensils? Does it matter if there is still some undried vodka on a hydrometer / thermometer / thief?
7. Is it safe to use Isopropyl alcohol?
8. Is Detol kitchen spray applied with kitchen roll good for wiping down work surfaces (says it kills 99.9% germs).
9. How long do you soak clean items in VMP?
10. How many times do you rinse?
