Why and How to Clean and Sanitize Your Winemaking Equipment

What is the difference between Cleaning vs. Sanitizing?

This is a discussion we have with customers constantly. Cleaning your equipment means that you have removed all of the visible dirt and residue on your equipment. Sanitizing means you have treated your equipment with a chemical solution that will eliminate, or prevent the growth of spoilage organisms. You MUST clean your equipment before sanitizing the equipment, since you cannot properly sanitize equipment with visible residue on it.

Here is a video from our online classes - WinemakingInstructions.com that talks about and shows you step by step how to clean and sanitize your equipment.
