forgot to allow bottles to dry after sterilising

Postby chubs1988 » Saturday Feb 14, 2015 1:28 am

having forgot to allow bottles to entirely dry after sterilising being my first ever time brewing. im curious to know if the sterilising fluid left inside the bottle will have ruined the brew or if it will in effect act just like more water???

hope its water if not thats 48 500ml bottles of lager wasted.

it hasnt got a brand name as it came with the equipment i was given as a gift, but from what i can see its basically sodium percarbonate according to the ingredients.

See if you can get some no rinse sanitizer like starsan, but if it mostly drained out you'll probably be right.

That's a cleaner. Not a sanitizer. Either way you'll be fine. Get a no rinse sanitizer as Earle suggested
