Is it possible to put all my bottles in the dish washer and replace the soap with non rinse sanitizer?
u use oxi clean as a sanitizer or cleaner?
And putting no rinse sanitizer in the dish washer is NOT a good idea, there is a thread an pictures floating around here of a kitchen full of foam from putting starsan in the dishwasers.
is this the "poor-man's" dry ice fog?
As others have said, I also use oxyclean to "clean" a batch of bottles once I gather a few cases of 'em. Then I store them in the closet with my beer equipment upside down in old cases. Bottling day (which is now thankfully a thing of the past with the new keezer) I'd pull out 55 or so bottles, load them in the dishwasher and run it on extra hot/sanitize mode with heated dry to "sanitize" them. Let them cool a few hours, then bottle away.... not a single contamination issue to date.
I never did the extra hot mode to sanitize bottles. After a bottle is used at my house its placed in the dishwasher and cleaned with regular dishes. Upon bottling day I dump them in my cleaning bucket with starstan and rinse each bottle to insure no bacteria.
Take in mind my bottling day is not just me; but my wife and two daughters who all lend a hand so it goes by very quick...
