all grin and santizing

[Arbe0]

going to try my first all grain soon. As far as sanitizing I would think that:
The HLT doesn't need to be sanitized, only very clean
The Mash tun doesn't need to be sanitized only very clean
and the same with the Boil pot.
Everything after the boil needs to be sanitized.
Sounds right to me, how about you?

Yep, HLT and MLT just need to be clean.

I submerge my chiller with 10 minutes left in the boil to sanitize it. I sanitize the lid of the kettle starting a few minutes prior to knock out, then cover during chilling. If squeezing out the hops, the tongs get sanitized. I also sanitize the tubing I use to drain from the kettle in the fermentor, the bung and airlock, and a funnel for pitching the yeast. The fermentor itself gets sanitized too. I use star san and love it!

Since I brew in a garage I boil everything ahead of time, anything that was sitting from the last brew just as a precaution then add that to the fermentor then clean and sanitize everything with spray, even if I put something down spay it again

PBw and starsan are my choices for cleaning and sanitizing. PBW is amazing how well it cleans things even burned on wort from the brewpot (don't ask ,newbie mistake).
But the HLT that just contains water to be brought to mashing temp and the Mash tun , do these need sanitizing ? I assume that they don't because everything will be boiled in the boil pot at the end and be sanitized there.

for most yes but for me where i live lots of nats and flies all over the place, bugs and sugar don't mix, I even keep my grain sealed in baggies and a air tight plastic barrel lol
