i always hear people soaking their bottles in their bottling bucket before bottling, but they only hold about 16 bottles. i'm wondering if they can be soaked in Strait A inside rubbrmaid container that will hold all 50 some bottles...or must it be in food grade bucket?? seems like a silly question but since i asked it...it is not. :rockin:

I use a separate rubbermaid container which holds about 15-20 bottles. I pour the sanitizer out the bottling bucket into the rubbermaid container and put it as many bottles as I could. When it gets low I put in some more. I've bottled about a dozen batches this way with no issues.
as long as your container isn't harboring nasty chemicals or aromas/flavors, its fine.
so, if its the tub you use to scrub off car batteries in...I wouldn't use it.
if its only ever been dusty/reasonably clean, go for it.
also, a bottle tree is really helpful for drip drying the bottles after sanitizing, before filling.
