Short Version:
Has anyone had experience with heating your bottles in the oven to sterilize them?
Long Version:
I picked up some old brewing equipment from a guy who is a hard core brewer. He gave me ton of bottles too. His method was to place the bottles in his kitchen oven at 300 degrees for one hour. He also puts a little aluminum foil cap on top of each bottle. He said the only risk is that after many repeat heating the glass can break down. This is sort almost like auto-claving. Seems kind of easier too and less fuss than washing.
Thoughts?
