Sterilizing the bottles

I let the bottles soak for an hour or two in PBW to remove lables and clean them.  Rinse them with hot tap water to get remove any glue residue that might still be there (usually none) and to rinse off the PBW. Then it's into a bucket full of Star-San for 30 seconds and on to the bottle tree until I'm ready for them.  I don't have a dishwasher, so this seems to be the easiest way for me to get them cleaned and sanitized.

 

After I drink a bottle, I rinse it with a bottle washer to get the yeast residue out real good. Hot water does the trick with the bottle washer. Then when I want to use the bottles I sanitize for 2 minutes in Star San Iodophor solution. Real gunked up bottles go to recycle bin. I use sam adams bottles. Have enough for several batches.
