Just a way to **** with newbs.

It seems like a lot of you guys just love to spend extra time and money. You can't get a bottle cleaner than clean.

That is way over kill. Beer bottles do not need to be sterile. They need to be sanitized. The water in the dishwasher is hot enough to kill any bacteria.

Let them soak in water/oxyclean to loosen up and sediment, let them dry, then just put them in the dishwasher with no soap, and run it. That will rinse and sanitize in one step. With no work.

Sounds a lot like a pruno recipe.

Compared to driving race cars, brewing is the least of my wife's worries!:rockin:

I have used distilled water every time. My grocery sells a 2.5 gallon jug for $2.

Is it really worth $40 worth of ingredients? I would be too scared to drink that.

Falstaff. I don't think they make it anymore. I borrowed it from a garage as a young man.

oxy-clean soak, and a metal pad to rub off excess goo. O'fallon brewery labels would not come off for anything. They are the only ones I have ever had a problem with.

I use a stir stick. I think it's supposed to be for wine. It goes in the end of a drill, and you just stick it in the carboy and stir it up. No worry about dropping a carboy, or making a mess.
