    I couldnt disagree more. Filtering can not completely steralize. Just about everything I have read tells you to place in oven for 15 minutes at 250 then let stand for ten and repeat two more times.

    Filtering gets rid of the particles . BA is what kills the germs and theres more than enough to kill all germs. No real need to heat it up.

    I just like to be safe. No such thing as too safe when you are brewing it yourself in an unsterile enviroment.
