Clean equipment may still contain some microorganisms, which can pose a risk to patients undergoing medical procedures.

Yes, it is necessary to let the tea bag steep in boiling water for a specific amount of time to achieve the desired flavor.

Yes, it is generally permissible to open the lid during fermentation to check on the progress or make adjustments, but it is important to do so carefully to avoid introducing contaminants that could spoil the fermentation process.

Yes, it is possible that the mash temperature was too high during the brewing process, which can affect the final outcome of the beer.

Yes, it is possible to freeze moonshine. Freezing moonshine can affect its quality and taste by potentially altering its flavor profile and texture. Some people believe that freezing moonshine can enhance its smoothness, while others argue that it may diminish its overall quality.

Consuming a mash that is still bubbling after 2 weeks is not safe. The bubbling indicates that fermentation is still occurring, which means there may be harmful bacteria or toxins present in the mash. It is best to wait until the bubbling stops and the mash is no longer actively fermenting before consuming it.

No, it is not safe to use expired sea moss gel as it may have lost its effectiveness and could potentially cause harm.
