after spending almost 4 hours today cleaning bottles then sanitising bottles then rinsing bottles, then sanatising and rinsing lids, then bulk priming, bottling and capping, I've decided its time to ask for everyone tips to make bottling day less of a pain in the ass.
ive seen bottle trees at my LHBS which ive decided would be a good investment. they also sell a little bowl thinger that goes on the top of the tree that squirts sanatiser/rinses bottles, anyone used one of these? do they do the job properly? i think it'd be $30 well spent in water savings alone if the result was the same as my current routine.
also, how important is scrubbing bottles with a bottle brush? is there a shortcut around having to do that?
oh, and one last thing; no posts saying "keg, its the only way". kegging is well out of reach of a poor uni student like myself
