[andyspet]

just bought 24 bottles of 1 litre soda waters, after i empty them im going to use them to bottle my brew, im going to bottle as soon as i empty them, will they still need to be sterilised, or will they be clean enough as they are.

thanks for any advice andy :

I would say possibly ok as it is... But, I would sterilise anyway, just to be on the safe side...

+ 1...play safe, not worth it for a quick rinse out with steriliser. If you get a bad bottle you'll only kick yourself. :sick:

give the thread and the cap a good clean. if anyone has drunk from the bottle i sanitise as usual. (i use 1.5ltr sparkling water bottles occationally)
