This is how I start sanitizing my beer equipment on brewing, racking or bottling days. This was taken on a racking day.

I have already added an ounce of iodophor to the carboy and am now adding 5 gallons of water. This will sanitize (not sterilize) the inside of the carboy which is what the beer will be racked into from the primary fermenter.



After the carboy is filled up I siphon it into a plastic container we got just for sanitizing. Doing this will sanitize the inside of the hose, and then I drop the whole hose into the container to sanitize the outside of it. We also put all of the equipment that will come into contact with the beer into the container.
