After sterilising bottles

Deanojevo

Do bottles need to be dried out after using the no rinse stuff?

Most no rinse cleaners just say to drain, they don't need to be completely dry before using, and they usually say to use within a limited time after cleaning to be most effective

That's great! I wasn't sure that if any drops were left in the bottle it might affect the taste of the beer.

Thanks!

Well it stopped bubbling Saturday and I had the same reading of 1.014 for two days running and it's been bottled now for three days. Going to move the bottles Wednesday into the cold utility room for clearing. I reckon I will give it a week before sampling!

I noticed a couple of bottles have some decent sized bit's floating around inside them. Is it anything to worry about?

That's great, once the bottles have cleared and it has carbonated it can be sampled, for best results give it a bit longer to allow the flavours to develop as it conditions - they keep improving with time

Apologies this should of been posted on my Youngs definitive lager thread!
The pet bottles have hardened though so that's good!
