I am about to bottle my first batch in a while. My bottles are a bit dusty after sitting in my crawlspace for 8 years or so. Also some of the bottles were not rinsed properly after last use so there is a build up on the bottom.
I had filled a tub with a bleach water solution and submerged and filled the bottles. It has been 3 days now, because I have not had the time to empty, clean and fill them.
I know bleach looses its effectiveness over time. Do i need to start over with the cleaning, or can I now dump the bottles, rinse them and then bottle? What about the ones with stuff in them. Should I scrub them out and re-bleach or how do I go about getting them ready to bottle?
Thanks
