Ok, so welp I used what I thought was common sense, but we'll see.
So when I bottled, I used B-T-F (Iodine, I think) as a sanatizer. I diluted maybe 0.5 oz in probablt 2-3 gallons of water (enough to fill my sink). I submierged my bottles in it for a few minutes, took them out of the water, shook them dry then filled them. I also had a bowl of the stuff with my caps in it, so I'd shake the caps off before capping.
My questions now is: was that a good thing to do? I would think that the ultra-low concentration of iodine in the final product (e.g. the beer) shouldn't affect the flavor. Thoughts?
Also, is oxyclean free a sanatizer as well as a cleanser? In which case, should I just use that in the future and not BTF? Would I need to rinse bottles sanatized with oxyclean?
