    Clarification with aging a Tripel

    I brewed my first Tripel about a week ago, and it seems to have finished up primary (OG 1.071/ right now its 1.009).

    dumb bottling question

    I'm getting ready to rack my first all grain batch, and I'm getting a head start on prepping my bottles. Is out good practice to wash the bottles in the dishwasher a few weeks in advanced? I want sure if the detergent would have a negative effect on the beer.
