Depends. I bought an automatic sterilizer and a bottle tree. I can hose down the inside of a bottle then put it on the tree to air dry. I can knock out 20 bottles in about 10 minutes.
As far as the rest of the equipment, just sterilize it right after you use it and right before you use it. If you get a devise that will sterilize for you, it's easier. if you do it all by hand, it takes longer.
To me it's really no different than making a great meal and then having to wash the dishes afterward.
that's right. alot of bacteria can be quite acid tolerant. especially the disease causing ones. anything accompanied with hot water is probably your best bet. 20 percent Bleach is a good disinfectant.
When I first met Beef he told me that Chlostridium difficile was the only bacterial species that was not susceptible to Bleach treatment. I don't know if that is true or not, but he's so damn good looking that I just smiled and nodded
I'd love to open a brew pub, but the whole "work" and "need money" thing seem to be holding me back.
Edit: Bottling takes a long time. I keg normally but if I do bottle I try to use larger bomber bottles or even sterilized 2 liter bottles as much as I can.
I wash the equipment as normally and then use starsan to sanitize. It works well and is very fast.
I'd be curious to know what book that it is. Most of the time I just sit down and try to figure out what may taste good!
