I am ready to go through bottling. I understand that for corks (not synthetic), I can/should k-meta briefly before using, please let me know otherwise.
I also got house filter in place and ran clean, non chlorinated, water through it and also understand that I should run some k-meta before using as well.
Please confirm if I have something incorrect or your have other advice.
As for the bottles, I have done extensive cleaning on them and plan to do a final pass soaking in one-step with brush, then spraying k-meta. The question is if I should spray k-meta right before bottling or shall I do this a few hours before to give more time to dry. If drying is important, will a heat lamp be good for this?
As for water, during my preparation I used spring water. Shall I also use spring water to make the cleaning/sanitizing solutions? Is that the only source or can we use filtered tap water (for mixing or cleaning solutions)? If so, what would be the filter requirements?
thanks
