When I prepare my bottles for brewing, I hand wash them with warm water and 2-Star, then I put them in the dishwasher on 2 cycles (1st one with some 2-Star, then another cycle with no sanitizer etc) Then after they dry, and when I am ready to use them for bottling I run them through another sanitizing rinse (just plain water). Is this overkill????
Is it Overkill???

The last step should be a sanitizer. If your water has any microbes in it then they can infect your beer. Personally I just do a hot water rinse and then sanitizer and beer. I'll oxiclean or pbw if they are nasty but I rinse as I drink so they rarely are.
