So i've switched to sanitizing all my equipment using iodophor. I've found it quick and easy for sanitizing items such as equipment, pots, primaries, secondarys, etc. However I have found sanitizing bottles to be a long rigorous process.
Currently I get a 5 gallon bucket add my iodophor and water and submerge batches of bottles (6 at a time) into the bucket. Leave them for two minutes, then dry rack. This takes a long time because each batch requires to be submerged for 2 minutes.
I really want to speed this process up. At my LHBS they have a device (can't remember the name) where you put your bottles upside down and it sprays sanitizing solution into the bottle. I would like to use this with iodophor but I am not sure if this is going to completely sanitize my bottles as the instructions on the iodophor bottle clearly states the equipment must be submerged in the solution for at least two minutes.
Is there another way? I'm running out of movies to watch while I'm sanitizing my bottles!
