Good point. Don't know the answer though! :-)

On a related note, just how clean does stuff have to be in order for a
brew not to get tainted or contaminated? When I tried a few kits years
ago I used Chempro I think it was called to sterilise everything.
However I've seen programs on TV where beer or cider has been made and
the buckets and other equipment used look really manky, yet the end
result is allegedly excellent. Plus I've read of some weird and
wonderful stuff being added to beers during fermentation that I'd have
thought would have seriously contaminated it.
