Hi, I am getting near to gassing and then bottling my first ever batch of wine. I will be using bottles that have been bought at my local supermarket, drank, soaked in tap water, scraped off labels and rinsed in a mild bleach/water mix.
My question is.....
Apart from the final sterilise rinse what else should I do to ensure it does not cause problems with my new wine?
I did notice on a few bottles that there was small black spots/growths attached to the inside of them that I could not remove so I binned them.
Is there are sure fire way to ensure my bottles are as clean as possible?
I was thinking caustic soda soak? Rinse? bleach? rinse.?
As I say I am a week away from bottling so please any advice would be great.
many thanks
