Hello, recently I made my first batch of apple cider, however, since this was my first batch I didn't use any homebrewing specific cleaning equipment and just cleaned it with hot water, dish soap and vinegar. Obviously, I understand that dish soap, nor vinegar kills all of the bacteria, however I'm wondering if it's safe to continue like this or if I should invest in proper sterilization equipment should I plan to keep on homebrewing. Thank you in advance.
