Sterilising bottles

[RichC]

Paul, as TheSumOfAllBeers said, you only need a spray bottle or a few 100ml to slosh around the bucket. Contact time to kill is about 30seconds so sanitising doesnt take long at all. You should put a dip tube in your bottling bucket and youll reduce losses to <50ml per batch. Also you can put a second bottling wand on the bottling bucket and it speeds up bottling day dramatically. Takes me about 20mins to bottle  batch with 2 bottling wands.

This is what I love about brewing forums - ingenious, simple advice like this.

Just bottled last night, and this would help a lot. No shortage of bottling wands or siphons in my house.
