Many thanks for all this help. Well the brew is on, a light IPA, with some afterboil new Zealand hops added for good measure. Looking forward to the brewing experience. I work for a large commercial brewer, but this is my first homebrew.
Is it good enough to use a dishwasher on a 70deg celcius setting to clean my bottles prior to bottling, or should I sterilise. The beer is going to be drunk within a couple of weeks, and these aren't dirty bottles, they are ones that I have used and already rinsed out?
Hi, new to forum, and new to brewing (sort of). I'm just about to start my first homebrew . But I've worked in the brewing industry for over 10 years, just never done it at home before. Wish me luck, I'll keep posting updates
