Beer Glass Cleaning

[Mattese]

mine get the occasional run through the dishy. But most of the time i just rinse after use with really hot water and allow to air dry. Seems to do the trick. Plenty of head on my beers... commercial and homebrew equally as good

+1 I got caught up in the hype of avoiding dish washing liquid when I was first starting out. Then I progressed to stealing the glass cleaning solution from the local pub (Consisted of me showing up at 10am on a Sunday with a clean Moccona jar for a refill).

Now I'm a strictly hot water man, and occasional cranky prick when the missus puts them in the dishwasher.

I have read enough on this site from those more experienced than I to believe that detergent doesn't hurt, but old habits die hard.

Three things touch the inside of my beer glasses.
Clean hot, hot water in a clean sink.
A clean dishcloth.
Beer.
No head problems here, in either department.
Seems to get the hop oils off my glasses now I just gotta find out how I'm gonna get them outa my beer.

Occasional dishy wash to make sure I'm not growing germs in there, hot water and elbow grease in b/w.

Make that 4,

I forgot a specially allocated one of those green non-scratch scourer pads that I give them a scrubbing with in the hot water, using a fork to get it into those unreachable parts of some of my glasses.

The fork makes it 5 Boagsy

No, it's wrapped inside the scourer so it doesn't actually touch the glass, which I make all attempts to avoid.
Unless of coarse I'm careless while I'm cleaning and in that case it could be 5, but very rarely.
