The skills these brewers need and the procedures they use vary substantially. However, there are two skills that every brewer needs, no matter what size brewery they brew in: cleaning and sanitizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning and sanitizing your brewing equipment is the first step listed in the procedure on brew day. Your brewing equipment needs to be as clean and as free from biological growth as possible. The only organism you want growing in your fermenter is yeast. Growth of other organisms in unfermented beer (called wort) can spoil the resulting beer. Contaminated beer may turn out sour or develop other off flavors and aromas. In addition, the beer may overcarbonate and gush when opened. In extreme cases, your bottles may explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"post-innerblock-video\" id=\"block_51e21ce582417cbbeb0ec38c0160c68d\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-innerblock-video__video\" data-vimeo=\"1107535848\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-innerblock-video__video-cover\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/byo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2044560273-63ee95e65ec9b04cddce49fdbe38e72d7a30366f35c0068aea85d13accbbfd72-d_640_regionus.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Man in a kitchen with beer brewing equipment and cleaning products.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/byo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2044560273-63ee95e65ec9b04cddce49fdbe38e72d7a30366f35c0068aea85d13accbbfd72-d_640_regionus.jpg 640w, https:\/\/byo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2044560273-63ee95e65ec9b04cddce49fdbe38e72d7a30366f35c0068aea85d13accbbfd72-d_640_regionus-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-innerblock-video__button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"post-innerblock-video__button\" aria-label=\"Play video\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"70\" height=\"70\" viewBox=\"0 0 70 70\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle cx=\"34.9995\" cy=\"35.0073\" r=\"34.8178\" fill=\"#BA5822\"\/><path d=\"M49.4398 33.829C49.6647 33.9536 49.8521 34.1362 49.9826 34.3577C50.113 34.5791 50.1818 34.8315 50.1818 35.0886C50.1818 35.3457 50.113 35.5981 49.9826 35.8196C49.8521 36.0411 49.6647 36.2236 49.4398 36.3482L27.9232 48.3027C27.7039 48.4244 27.4567 48.4868 27.2059 48.4836C26.9552 48.4804 26.7096 48.4118 26.4935 48.2845C26.2774 48.1573 26.0983 47.9758 25.9739 47.7581C25.8495 47.5404 25.7841 47.2939 25.7842 47.0431V23.1341C25.7842 22.0358 26.9631 21.3445 27.9232 21.8783L49.4398 33.829Z\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-main__post-footer\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-main__post-topics\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Topics:<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/byo.com\/topic\/cleaningsanitation\">Cleaning\/Sanitation<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/byo.com\/topic\/new-to-brew\">New to Brew<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-main__favorite\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"post-main__favorite-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"375273\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"1\" style=\"\">Favorite<\/button>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"post-main__favorite-text\">Add to Favorites<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t<aside class=\"post-main__post-ads\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-main__post-ads-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"382265\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wyeastlab.com\/activator-smack-pack-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wyeast-BYO-300x600-banner-2026.png\" alt=\"Wyeast\" \/>\r\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"363992\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.colomafrozen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/Coloma_BYO_300x225.png\" alt=\"Coloma Frozen\" \/>\r\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/aside>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cleaning and sanitizing your brewing equipment is the first step listed in the procedure on brew day.
