I'm looking for some feedback.
All my equipment goes through a cleansing and sanitizing before use. My last step is sanitizing and sometimes I use the equipment before it dries.
I was wondering whether it is best to clean rinse after sanitizing? If I don't will I get a sanitizing taste? If I do, should I wait until all is dry prior to using. Rinsing after sanitizing would be with tap water and I don't think I'd like introducing that to the wine.
I feel like I should know the answer to this question already but not sure.
An example is the bottles. When I sanitize, I put them on the tree and let them rinse. They may not be dry by the time I use the bottles.
The reason I ask is that my wife always states there is a funny taste to my wine. If it's aged I don't always get that feedback.
So, I'm looking for your expert advice and answers. Thanks in advance.
