Quick question on bottling

[BackToBasics]

Hi,

I suspect I know the answer to this but thought I'd ask and see if I can save myself some time.

On Saturday I got geared up to bottle my Wherry and spent a while removing labels and cleaning bottle. I took a lot longer than expected. However, as detailed in another thread, the brew wasn't quite ready so I've left it for a few extra days.

The bottles have since been stored upside down in boxes. Do I need to clean them again before bottling tonight?

IMHO you will need to sanitise them prior to bottling. :thumb:

Best to mate, you won't need to give them a scrub inside and out again but def need to sterilise again

That's what I though. At least I can just leave them to soak for a while.

Yeah that's all I would do, a soak and a rinse, then you're good to go .

I dunk all my bottles in the priming bucket filled with chemipro oxi solution, so the bin gets clean and so do the bottles. No need to rinse with this cleaner, but need to make sure the bottles are dry before putting beer in them. I struggled with this a little using the wife's clothes rack (lost a few bottles to boot). I've since discovered plastic bottle trees which are a godsend.
