I read or heard some where that you can sanitize your bottles in the dishwasher on a high temp wash. Is there any truth to this? Also need tips on the cleaning and sanitizing of used bottles. Any help is appreciated.
The day before bottling, I take my bottles (which were all rinsed thoroughly immediately after pouring the beer) and us a vinator to sanitize with Star San. As they come off the vinator, I place them in the dishwasher. This whole process takes maybe 15 minutes.
The next morning when I get up, I run the dishwasher, no soap, Jet Dry turned off. I then make my run into town, when I get back, bottles have cooled down enough to handle, and I bottle.
you might be wasting StarSan - just sayin'
it's a no-rinse wet-contact sanitizer. StarSan should not be rinsed, and the item sanitized should be used "wet"
