Only StarSan for cleaning?

I almost quit brewing before I used realized the power of PBW.

Sweat the small stuff in reason. There was a video series by a guy who used a mask, gloves and smeared something on his arms to keep the germs away.....

I think I saw that video. It was very entertaining.

Yes your upside down or sealed keg is not going to be contaminated on the inside.

I transfered my Strawberry ESB from primary to secondary last week. The glass carboy I used for secondary had been previously cleaned and sterilized before getting sealed. I wiped off the outside of it with some sanitizing solution but did nothing else before the transfer. I did not resanitize. You can see a photo of it in the thread about putting fruit puree into the primary. It looks great. Now I just have to figure out what to do with 5 gallons of beer when I can't get together with a large group of people.... It may be a while before it gets into the keg.

I was noting that you do use tools in the beer AFTER the boil.

And I clearly said "an unsanitized spoon" which you totally ignored in your subsequent post....

Next time I clean out the keg I will use some PBW or equivalent when I do it. At least then some here can rest easy at night. I have been pretty much ignoring this thread since I have better things to do right now in the midst of a pandemic....

How was it cleaned?

Generic OxiClean as I said in a previous post. Don't worry, it's under control. LOL.

@coonmanx it's not about you and your practices.

This is the beginners brewing subforum. We want any newbies reading this to understand that proper cleaning is a necessary step in the brewing process.
