What’s the difference between sanitizing and sterilizing? 🧫 Sanitation is great for brewing but not enough when working with pure cultures or doing microbiological tests.

Even if you don’t have a huge autoclave, there are alternatives that can be used to create your own small microbiological QA/QC lab. It's best practice to validate the sterilization with swab plating and other means.
*Look for canning/stovetop autoclaves, that can exceed 1 bar (15psi)

👩‍🔬Follow us this month as we explore different microbiological plates and techniques. If you have a question, feel free to drop in it the comments!

🔮Do you know the Final Gravity of your brew? Check out this quick test to help identify the final gravity/full attenuation potential before the actual fermentation is finished!

🔬This is particularly helpful when developing new beer recipes, if there are changes in the mash profile, as well as working with new ingredients, including yeast.
