question about apfelwein and sanitation

[taylornate]

Noob question about Edwort's Apfelwein. He says to add the corn sugar right into the juice. Wouldn't this be a source for contamination? Is this why he specifies 1 pound bags of sugar? So they are used immediately after opening, reducing the chance of contamination? If I used sugar from a bigger bag to save a few bucks, would I increase my chance of contamination?

I've done it with no problems, just be as sanitary as you can.

You can dissolve it in some boiling water if you want to.
