This is my first post and first batch, so bear with me. I've got a question about sanitizing before bottling. I've got an Brewers Best IPA that has had two weeks in my primary and ready for bottling. I soaked my bottles in a bleach/water solution, ran the dishwasher empty with no soap, then ran it again through the dishwasher with the bottles, again with no soap. Bottles are dried and ready for beer. Got an equipment kit from Brewers Best that came with a no rinse sanitizer. Can I use that for my bottles? How close to bottling can I sanitize my bottles then fill them? I watched a video on www.homebrewingvideo.com and the guy in the video sanitized bottles the day of bottling. Can I do that, sanitize the day of bottling, with the equipment I have? Also, will the sanitizer give any off-flavors to my beer since it is a no rinse product?
