Sterilisation tips

[fanoftren]

So I have an pressure cooker and and mini oven, bought for homebrewing. After I put the glassware and vials in the pressurecooker and put them in the oven, I still had some weird very very small dust particles on the glass and vials.

And maybe some stains or dried up water marks. What should I do to have very clean glassware and vials?

Should I use isopropyl alcohol and distilled water somewhere in the process or ?

Isoprop alcohol. Rinse throughly with distilled water.
Then sterilize them with alu foil covering.
Probably tok late now given you have invested but pre-sterilized vials are just better.

I second pre-sterilized vials, It’s so much easier.

Problem is that it is really hard to find some pre sterilized vials in the eu. I only could find some shady sellers on enay without any reviews. I want some legit seller. That is why i started doing it myself. I’ll buy some distilled water and iso propyl alcohol. I will also put distilled water in the pressure cooker

There's probably endless supply. You can't just Google this like you're shopping for protein powder. You need to find sellers that sells medical and chemical supplies at an industrial level. Contact them via their email or contact form and set up an order. They will reply with an offer and shipping methods.

Is this homebrew or?

You can always run the vials through your dishwasher or buy a hypersonic jewelry cleaner prior to sterilization to get all the “hardened dirt specs” off.

I think this is kinda smart idea. And then after I can just put then in 70% alcohol and then in the oven
