Few questions about sterilization

[Ryandes]

First question is about the raw powder I read the other post and couldn’t get a good reply. Do I need to pre sterilize my raws or does the filter and the ba do that. If I do need to sterilize the raws what’s your method? Second question after I clean my beakers and put them in the oven do I need to cover the tops with foil or no. I’ve read a lot on here but I want to confirm these two things. Thanks

You haven't read and understood enough. This is a topic about which you want to be certain.

Regarding your first question. One sterilizes their finished oil by running it through a sterile filter, typically .22 microns. That's sufficiently small to remove any pathogens. Note that the filter itself will do the sterilizing, but also has to be sterile in the first place, which will be packaged individually and have the words "sterile" on the packaging. I offer this level of detail because there are many .22 micron syringe filters one can buy that are not sterile.

I am really not sure where you read, here, about having to sterilise raws before brewing.

But maybe you can tell us.

Let me see if i can find it i originally found it during a random late night search. The guy didn't say you have to he was just asking the general question about the topic but the reply's were mostly different or talking shit so just wanted to clarify to be sure.
