Step 2Clean!
First of all have a clean kitchen!
So clean it monkey!
Next make sure all your gear - whatever you're using is very clean. This is where the optional sterlising powder comes in useful. I'm used to making beer which takes a loooong time so requires everything to be exceedingly clean or you can end up with an iambic brew which can be good, can be awful.
Follow the instructions on the side of the sterilising powder. Mine said '10ltr of warm water with three to four teaspoons of sterlising powder shaken about for 10 minutes so that it coats everything with sterilising death'. Note sterilising doesn't clean, it just kills. If you've got a dirty lump inside your fermentation vessel it'll still leak bacteria everywhere.
Washing up liquid and hot water does a good enough job - this stuff only takes about four days to make and you'll be transferring it after two.
