closed and finished vials into your autoclave will sterilize them. Because the vial is sealed and cannot be penetrated by steam, there is no veracity to this claim. The heat generated from your autoclave alone is not sufficient to sterilize the inside of the vial. See <a href="../lena.html">this page</a> for more info.</p> <p>Therefore, you do not need to take any final sterilization steps if you followed the previous steps precisely.</p> <p>Of course, some bacteria is killed at 121°C. An autoclave cycle wont do nothing, but it is not sufficient to create conditions of sterility in your vial. You may put your vials into the autoclave for 30-60 minutes, as a final just-in-case, but in theory its not needed.</p> <h2 id="making-a-record"> <a href="9-final-steps.html#making-a-record" class="anchor-heading" aria-labelledby="making-a-record"><svg viewBox="0 0 16 16" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#svg-link"></use></svg></a> Making a Record </h2> <p>Its important that you have a written record of everything you did with this brew.
