I need to get evil jet dry off my bottles before I bottle. Will soaking in starsan remove the head depleting nasties?
Will starsan defeat jet dry?

the reason why i asked about starsan (i know its a sanitizer) was that in a 2009 thread, a dude was saying a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water removes the jetdry film. thought the starsan may be able to work.

Just the jetdry residue. I got a dry stout to bottle and would hate for no head
I have gotten completely away from the dishwasher and the evil jet dry. I had major head-depleting problems until I realized the Jet dry was killing the head. Now my routine is to rinse thoroughly, and soak in OxyClean Free, dry and store until needed. Then, a quick soak in Sarsan, and bottle. Never had a problem using this method.
First, I'm religious about rinsing my bottles right after the pour - I don't let anything settle or cake on. When I'm ready to use them, I run them through the dishwasher on "sanitize" mode (superheated water) - with dishwasher soap, but no other additive (e.g. jetdry). I then dip them in starsan a few mins prior to filling. Works for me, but YMMV.
