sterilising boiler and mashing bag

[Mark1964]

Can anyone reccommend a suitable steriliser for an electrim boiler that wont corrode the element also the same for a teryline grain bag thanks :?

i dont think the boiler needs sterelising as when its boiling it sterelises itsself you just need to give it a good clean i think

sorry i forgot to say you mash the grains first in the same container

You don't need to sterilise it. You need to sterilise (sanitise) anything AFTER the boil.

Just a quick rinse with water will do you before you start brewing.

i will try and explain in more detail the electrim boiler is also a mash tun so you need to sterilise before mashing after mashing you wont need to sterilise again just drain off the wort return to boiler to boil etc

Hi Mark

You don't need to sterilise your mash tun/boiler before you mash. You need to give it a clean but no need to sterilise.
