The last three brews I have done have all ended up with an infection. (I AG and bottle)
On checking back on anything I have done different the only thing that comes to mind is I started using the Air Stone to airate the wort prior to pitching the yeast (I hadn't done that for a year or so as I previously just shook the sh-- out of the fermenter))
The Air Stone and Pump have been in the cupboard for about a year and before I used them I ran the pump with the air stone and inter connecting tubing immersed in an Idophor solution
There is a medical filter between the pump and the air stone however it is probable a few years old.
Now getting to the point.
How do members sanitise their airstones, filters, tubing and pumps before use after they have been out of use for a while?
