autoclave or pressure cooker is overkill if you ask meRogerP wrote:Autoclave, not something that common outside of your laboratory :)
Probably a pressure cooker will do, if not steam as I use for the corny kegs. Anyway, it's not going to block with a lardy filter!

I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy.

Really no need to autoclave a plate chiller. If cleaned properly and backflusshed all you need to do is run hot wort through on recirc for a few minutes, and you'll be fine. And they are very fast. I just took 1/2 bbl down to pitching temps in 8 minutes with mine (which, admittedly is fairly large).
