Hi

I was wondering if someone could help me
I have never made wine, do you have to sterlize everything the wine will touch or just the bottles. Specifically the pail it will start out in?

Thank you.

This was moved to home winemaking.

Everything. There isn't much worse than having a whole batch go south due to contamination.

I have never made wine, but with beer, you sterilize everything. Bleach works, but it involves a whole lot of rinsing. There are iodine solutions available that are much less of a hassle.
