"How do you ensure sterile transfer of cultures? Does flaming the

I don't transfer my yeast in the kitchen. I use a bedroom instead. I
spray the area pretty heavily with Lysol. I'm not sure if this useful
or superstition, but I haven't had any problems. I clean bottle tops and
lips with vodka. And I try to make my transfers as quickly as I can.
