Do any of you clean and sanitize your carboys immediately after bottling, drip dry them and seal them with aluminum foil to use when you brew again? I'll be brewing again this Tuesday and thought that I would save some time. Anything wrong with doing this? I got the idea from sanitizing bottles. (see below)
I found the following info in Palmer's book concerning sanitizing (actually sterilizing) bottles. Clean and dry your bottles. Place them in the oven with the tops covered with aluminum foil. Pre-heat the oven to 338 degrees. When the oven reaches that temp. set your timer for 60 min. After baking, let them cool in the oven, then store them until you are ready to use them. I did this, 24 at a time, and just bottled today. Seemed like an easy way to have bottles on hand until you are ready to go. Anybody use this method?
