How do you all wash your beer mugs?

[RyanJE]

What do you use since I know that largely effects taste and head retention?

 

[homebrewer_99]

I wash them in the sink with a bottle brush (inside) and sponge (outside) hot soapy water, rinse with hot water and then with cold water, drip dry upside down or use wet. Never dry the inside with a towel (there's soap resudue on the towel).

dishwasher... then give them a rinse before pouring to clear any leftover soap.

 

[RoaringBrewer]

I just wash them as a normal dish and let drip-dry. I always rinse them with scalding hot water prior to pouring or frosting.

I hand-wash them with hot soapy water, rinse well, then rinse with cold water and air-dry in the strainer.

You also said "mugs". May I suggest drinking your beer from a beer glass? Like, say, this one...

I have three of these particular ones---the club-footed design is my favorite. Like with wine, a "snifter"-styled glass like this concentrates the aroma---as such, you get to experience your beer much more intensely and clearly than with a mug. Just a suggestion.

I occasionally wash them with hot water in the sink with Ivory dishsoap, but most of the time I just rinse them under hot water and spray them out real good with the sprayer attached to the sink and let them drip dry without using soap.

Those look nice, but I'm a fan of the utilitarian pint glass. In fact, I've convinced SWMBO that we need to convert all of our regular drinking glasses to pint glasses, since we're short on cabinet space and they can be stacked.

I'm a pint fan too. Mine get used a lot since they're so utilitarian. However I do use my Weizen glasses a lot as well. As far as washing, unless I've stupidly (or drunkenly) let some lacing dry on the sides or runoff dry on the bottom, I'm a major rinser. I try not to use soap on em' at all. Just a lot of heavy duty rinsing.

LOL and SWMBO has given up on washing my beer glasses. She knows I'm weird about it.

Sorry I shouldnt have said mugs, i use pint glasses, weizen glasses, goblets, pub glasses, and mugs. The occasional mug isnt so bad as long as i can see through it.

I wash with hot water only.

Back up for guest's

Reading the thread title I have to add that I don't wash ALL of my glasses since I have several hundred of them.

They were all washed at one time, but now I only wash them as I need them.

Follow the link in my post. Global Beer has TONS of great goblets and other glasses---they're geared towards Belgian stuff. They're sold out of this particular glass (my wifey bought me the last three that they had for xmas!!) but they have lots of other cool ones. I have a couple of Hoegaarten ones from them as well.

lol mine too!


I just rinse with hott water for about 15 seconds, upside down drip dry, and then frost the mugs. Those are the only ones I frost. Other glasses are room temperature.

 

[RichBrewer]

I just rinse mine with very hot water right after they have been emptied.

If you immediately refill your mug after draining it, you never have to wash it. You also never have to succumb to the drudgeries of being sober that way.

Amen Brother, Amen.

Me too.

The glasses my friends drink from have been hand washed in suds but rinsed in very hot water prior to being drip dried. My personal ones just get the hot water.
