Still a newbie, bottling another batch tomorrow.
Do people go o,verboard with cleanliness? I can understand being anal with the fermenter as you can lose a whole batch with infection. With bottles I'm happy to lose the odd bottle if it means avoiding the whole rigmarole some go through to get perfectly clean bottles. What do people think? If I rinse my bottle after drinking it, and again in hot water before bottling and there are no visible depositsg, will I be ok for 95% of bottles?
