I thoroughly clean and sanitize my bottles. But do I need to allow the inside of the bottles to completely dry prior to bottling or is rinsing out the sanitizer then bottling sufficient? Please help.
+ 1 on no-rinse sanitizer = Star San

I use One Step or actually now I use Dish Washer on Sanitize. Then burn my hands getting the bottles out.
if you use the dishwasher, don't put any soap in it, run it like regular and do the heat dry, make sure it's not on 'energy saver' or whatever it is called on yours... not all dishwashers have the 'sanitize' option on them, but the heat dry will get it done for you.
I am wondering how the water actually makes it up into the bottles using this method. Wouldn't it just sanitize the outside of the bottles?
My dishwasher has a hot start, high temp wash, and heated dry option. I assume I can use all 3 of those without soap or anything else in the dishwasher and have sanitized bottles? I'm bottling my first batch in a week or 2.
Sounds good; I've got some OxyClean around and a big washing/sanitizing tub. I'll sanitize my caps separately. Should I let the bottles cool a bit before I start to fill them?
