You guys are pretty anal!, I spray out my bottles, Then I put them in the dishwasher. I DO use soap, but only 1/2 dose. I let them run through the pot/pans cycle and then I let them go the full drying cycle.
The bottles come out nice and warm, and this has worked like a champ for me.

I am sure my technique is a bit of overkill. I soak my bottles in a light bleach solution (gasp!) for a half and hour, rinse out with a bottle washer, then place in DW for a cycle without any detergent. Has worked great for me. At least with this method, I inspect the bottles a couple of times to insure theres no gunk in them. The dishwasher makes a great drying rack and they are easy to grab while bottling.

yeah, everyone is going pretty crazy here. i used to sanitize every bottle, fill them with iodopher and let them sit for two minutes. that was really stupid and time consuming.

you don't need soap, just heat. as long as all the gunk is out of your bottles. i personally rinse mine immediately after drinking them or after parties, then leave them on the counter, rinse them out a few days later and put them away. between that and using the dishwasher, i've never had a problem.

If you have used Jet Dry, dont flip out. It's not going to ruin your beer, it just might not foam up that much when you pour it. Do NOT throw out your bottles. After you use them one time and clean them again, the Jet Dry will be gone anyway.
