I was going to post this in the Equipment/Sanitation thread but figured it was so simple I would put it here.:fro:
I just wanted to go over what I am doing and maybe you guys can give me some pointers.
I will rinse out the empty bottles and leave them for the next day to clean. The next day I clean with dish soap and a bottle brush. Then rinse out throughly with hot water. I then put them in a clean dishwasher to dry, put them away and don't worry about them until bottling. Prior to bottling I sanitize and again store the bottles again upside down in the clean dishwasher.
I have 2 concerns...
1. Soap (I don't want any residue)
a. Will the sanitizer get what soap is left if any?
2. Is the dishwasher safe to use in this manner?
a. If not where do you guys put the bottles?
b. Is drying needed after sanitizing?
Cheers!
