I'm hyper fussy but very patient so I feel I need to rinse. I've only done 2 lots of 40 beer bottles and I was listening to the radio which made the time fly by but I agree, less than half way through I start to get a bit eager to push on and think about all the wasted water.For a large batch steralising and triple rinsing out 30-40 bottles can be a bit soul destroying. Get yourself some no rinse sanitiser make up a batch and I just submerge each bottle for a min or two take out and stick on the bottle tree or bottle beer into it straight away!
I leave it in the bottle for 20 minutes but I think that's overkill. When previously making wine and in a rush I just poured sterilising solution from bottle to bottle shaking the bottle vigorously each time for about 10 seconds then rinsed when all were done.How long should you leave the steriliser in the bottles or demijohn before you tip it out again. On some videos I've watched they literally pour it in and straight out again.
