My wife loved the California Trinity Red so much that I ordered two more kits and another primary. I'm making them both at once. Do I need to sanitize the spoon, hoses, hydrometer, etc between each batch while working on them or can I just go from one to the other? I know the little voice in...

They say you should never be rushed when you are trying not to make a mistake and it appears "they" are correct. I wanted to get my CC Riesling into the primary on Saturday. Time slipped away from me and I had just enough to get this thing going before an obligation. I should have just pushed...
