===Methods For Avoiding Contamination===
====General Approaches====
* Clean first using an effective cleaner, and then apply a disinfectant/sanitizer as a second step.
* Use 180°F/82°C hot water for 60 minutes to disinfect stainless steel and other heat tolerant materials.
* For any plastics that cannot be treated with heat, especially tubing, keep separate plastics for use with ''Lactobacillus'', ''Brettanomyces'', and ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' var. ''diastaticus''.
