So last night, in preparation for my bottling this weekend, i started to clean my bottles. After reading this forum for the past 2 weeks solid, i decided to soak all my bottles in oxyclean (i have laundry detergent that has oxyclean in it so i chose that). I filled my bottling bucket (new and has never been sanitized anyways) with water ad added the detergent. I soaked the bottles and a few hours later the first batch cleaned right up. I put the now clean bottles in the dishwasher to get all the detergent off and soaked another batch. After all was said and done i was awfully proud of myself and then (as she always does) my girlfriend pointed out that i had used detergent in my bottling bucket. And she so graciously stated that anything that was bottled from that bucket she was not drinking. Now im not one to ever worry about something extra in any of my food or beverage but she is literally at the opposite end of that spectrum. I dont think anything will be left in the bucket once im done cleaning it with hot water and sanitizing it with StarSan. In fact im sure of it. This is the same girl who is refusing to drink the beer out of bottles i got from my parents because she doesnt know who drank out of them.
Someone please ease my frustration here and give me my much needed reassurance in the form of a "she is crazy, dont listen and enjoy the extra beer she will not be drinking!"
