Hey People,
I've pulled the old gear out of the back of the closet after not making beer for a couple years and I've got some dark ale bubbling away in he basement. What I'm wondering is how thorough should I be with the bottles? Let me rephrase that; how much laziness can I get away with? Can I just run my bottles through the washing machine or should I scrub them all with the food safe bleach I have? Bear in mind they've been sitting in the closet for a couple years and are fairly dusty. How does that affect bacteria and such. Thanks in advance for any tips. Cheers.
