Thank You For the Beer Bottles

I mentioned earlier that Paul gave me a bunch of beer bottles. That was very nice of him. Well, it’s been a long afternoon cleaning them out. I have a sore back.
In order to really clean them out, I first soaked them in bleach water in the sink. That made the house nice and smelly. Then, I rinsed them out and scrubbed the outside to remove the labels. After that, I put them all in the dishwasher. It took two dishwasher loads, but they are all done and smell great.
Since I now have about eighty bottles, I thought the best place to store them was on an unused shelf in the corner cabinet. That way, that are off the beaten path. I even took a picture for you…
Believe it or not, this is all of them. It doesn’t look like that many, but it is.

Jay, there is an easier way to clean your bottles and brewing equipment without scrubbing and using bleach. It is called ONE-STEP no rinse cleanser. It only cost a buck or something, and really works well. It is made especially for beer brewing and wine making.

Thank you for the heads up. I had to extra clean these bottles because they were in storage for a while and I needed to get the labels off. That’s why I needed to use the big guns.

Jay, looks impressive. I can’t believe you got that all done in one afternoon. Now I need to start a new bottle collection.

My goodness…that’s a lot of bottles. They should last you 800 billion years.
