When I did my first batch it was a simple extract with added hops at the end of the boil. I used a clean pot but did not sanitize it nor the spoon. To remove and squeeze out the hop bag I used a sort of tongs that I only washed but didn't sanitize.
My next batch was a little more complicated with more hops and grains which I removed with my spoon. At the end I used two spoons and my hands to remove and squeeze out excess liquid/flavor after removing my kettle from the heat to remove the hop bags.
Should this equipment be sanitized or is the heat enough to keep it relatively safe?
