As far as sanitizing goes, I've always been a fan of the dishwasher. I've never had a problem to date (knock on wood) with running the bottles through a hot cycle with little to no detergent.
The problem is, my new apartment doesn't have a dishwasher (definitely sacrificed location for amenities...). My girlfriend, however, does have a dishwasher and it is completely accessible to me for my brewing needs. She doesn't live far at all, maybe a ten minute drive on a bad day.
Is it cool if I drive my bottles there, run them through a cycle, put them back in their boxes and then run the bottles home and commence with the bottling procedures? Or would the transportation process create too many chances for recontamination?
Or, another option, is it too much hassle and I should just suck it up and soak them in Iodophor for ten minutes and then rinse and fill?
