I'm gonna do a pictorial thread using a little 9L brew and I'm gonna break every freakin rule known to clean brewing - I'll probably even put a few scoops of backyard dirt into the fermenter before I "sanitise" it with hot tap water.
I bet ya I can make a perfect beer using only hot tap water (65C-ish) as a sanitizer from go to whoa, I'll even make the starter in an unsanitised container and tap water.
Probably, just to cap it off - completely open fermentation in my manky fridge.

i did a haccp traing course 6 or so months ago and was told that there is like 1 or 2 types of very nasty bacteria that can with stand extremely high temps (like a few hundred degrees) at these temps they lay dormant, like a normal nasty under cold temps. they are pretty rare, and may have nothing to do with brewing, and obviously nick u have never come across them. it fks me maybe even all the chemicals in the world may have no effect, dunno. however i do have a clear memory of the lecturer telling us about them but i dont recall what there name was, and cant be arsed gooling/wiki them.
cheers

In the interests of newbs especially, can a mod please delete this thread. Honestly this has gone to the dogs. Some people may choose not to sanitise, that's fine, continue if you want. But......cleanliness and sanitisation is a basic requirement for brewing and any food production. We really need to be responsible here. I don't care what individuals think/believe they can do whatever they want, but we don't need this sort of crap to be purported on AHB.
This is a real shame!!!

Some of the advice here is bordering on the ridiculous, proper sanitation is paramount to producing good consistent beer. At judging level I have tasted entries that were quite infected in several categories and at the end of the day it came as no surprise that these entries were from the same brewer, and that brewer had no idea his beers were so bad. As was pointed out earlier, infections can build up over time and the brewer doesn't always notice them until pointed out by someone else.
