Looking at gettingnone from online shop. Is the rinser essential to get? Will be using starsan to sterilise.

It's not essential but it seems like it would make things a lot handier. I'm planning to get one in my next order anyway.

If I had to choose between the rinser and the tree, I'd get the rinser.

I got a tree first and it speeded up bottling a lot. I then got a rinser and again  massive time saving. Get  both you won't regret it

[rje66]

Sounds good. Thanks for replies

What makes the rinser quicker than a spray bottle with sanitizer in it?

[johnrm]

Single handed operation.

With rinser and tree it takes under 5 minutes to sanitize 40 bottles

...means you can use your mouse with your spare hand.

Deffo agree with that. Bottled 2 18 liter batches tonight 2 people in a little over an  hour.

Ok so now I need these then.

[johnrm]

Yep, more toys => less stress => better beer.

Next stop - Kegging.

I got a rinser and use the dish washer as the tree to drain the bottles and I've never looked back.

I think I blast each bottle too much though - it's one of those plunger rincers, so each bottle gets 3-4 plunges, so taking a bit longer than 5 mins for me. Maybe I can cut that down a bit...

3-4 plunges sound about right. Lots of wetted area and foam to get left behind and slowly drain out on the bottle tree! . Another positive of a lot of pumping is that it generates a head of foam in the rinser into which the bottle neck is repeatedly dipped sanning the bottle cap area

One pump, each bottle. Lash through them in minutes
