I cant believe I actually brewed this!

The only thing that needs any kind of special treatment is the fermenting vessel and anything after it. No need to do anything with the mash tun, the hlt (if you have one) or the boiler as everything is sterilised in the boil. I even chuck my big aeriating spoon in for the last 15 minutes of the boil along with the chiller. As for sanitising the FV, 2.5 litres of water mixed with Videne and a damned good shake, rattle and roll have even made that idiot proof for me

I do very similar to Parva.... Except I still sanitise the FV with VWP for 20 minutes then thoroughly rinse with water. I have a pump action spray in which I pour a litre of 125ml Videne mixed with water and I sanitise the HLT/Mashtun/Corni kegs..Saves loads of time

I am making my 4th AG tomorrow which is a Kolsch..and shall be sanitising as above

I have a very very relaxed view on cleaning, never spend much time other than a quick rinse with cleaning solution.

So far so good........fingers crossed.

I hope you meant 1.25ml Videne per litre of water there Highwayman!

Yes I did Parva...Thanks for the amendment ..forgive me I am still new at this

[PaulStat]

Me too!!!!! But how glad am I that I did!!! I've had a few bottles of commercial brew tonight including fiddlers elbow, old peculiar, Bristol Gold and youngs special london brew (all bottled, but £5.99 for four bottles seems excessive?), and to me it tastes pretty much as good as any of them!!!! Although perhaps slightly less carbonated?

But! Out of the beers I've had tonight it's had the best 'head retention'

I tired your all grain Friday night Chris and must admit I was impressed. I am a lager man as you know and at first wasn't too sure if I would enjoy it but it was gone in no time which says it all and it was very enjoyable with loads o flavour

The others are in the fridge for another time m8,

Cheers,
