Hi all,
I know there are tons of threads on bottle cleaning, and I read through many of them. I just wanted to ask a specific question and verify a no-bottle-brush technique to see if you all think it's fine. I'm using new bottles, but by now they're a bit dusty, cobwebs, etc.
I figure what I'll do is soak 1 case in my bottling bucket in a PBW solution overnight (eventually will go to Oxyclean to cut cost). The next morning, I'll dump the bottles, but won't really rinse them that thoroughly. I'll put the next case in the solution, and remove those in the evening. Then, I'll put both cases in my dishwasher, rinse (no detergent), and heat dry.
Sanitize them on bottling day and fill.
Provided I rinse after drinking and don't let sediment dry, do you think this will be okay in the long run?
Thanks,
AK
