By Frosty
When it comes to setting up to bottle your home brewed beer you simply cannot be too careful in terms of cleanliness. The sanitation process is nearly the same as that described in my earlier article “Keep It Clean (Part I)”. Your guiding principle should is still to throughly clean anything that will come in contact with your (now fermented) beer. The most likely suspects in this endeavour will be your racking/bottling vessel, your plastic siphon tubing, you, your siphon wand, your priming sugar, your bottling valve, your bottles, and your bottle caps.
