"This is my first Home brew batch, I got the kit for my B-day, I have been using bleach on everything so-far to sanitize everything. In about 4 of 5 days it will be time to bottle for my first time (I am excited) I think I will run the unused bottles in the dish washer without soap(to remove dust and such) then rinse with a bleach mixture to sanitize, one final rinse with water to get rid of the bleach, then bottle my first batch of beer. I hope my method will give me a good brew. If not please let me know, I am a new to home brew." Read more ›
