hist-brewing: Info on sanitation

[bjm10 at cornell.edu]

Generally, I've found that sanitation is nowhere nearly as important as 
cleanliness.  A good and *thorough* washing, followed by good and 
*thorough* rinsing should be doing most of your work.

Truth be told, I am nowhere near as anal about "sanitizing" and 
"sterilizing" as the various amateur brewing books advocate, and I'm a 
microbiologist!

It has not had any noticeable deleterious effects on my beer.
