No need to sanitize it, unless you're flag out acid washing it. It's getting boiled anyway.
I've read that throwing a sanitized penny into the boil will reduce it enough for you to lower heat so it doesn't boil over. I've also read about spraying cold water and using a fan will prevent it as well.
I work in a restaurant and boil things all the time, but I've never experienced an over boil happen as quickly as I almost had today. This is a new level of cookery for me.
Is it bad that I woke up in the middle of the night worrying about whether or not I sanitized properly or if I let my yeast activate long enough before I pitched it. I actually lost sleep over this stuff. I'm a nerd!
Haha!! That was the first thing I did this morning. I counted a bubble every 30 seconds or so. Now it's going about every 5 seconds.
