Sanitising Urgent Question!

[Rich747]

Just about to bottle my Coopers in PET bottles. One thing I always wondered was whether to rinse bottles after sanitising them as the solution does seem to have a slight odour?

Thanks folks

YES if it is chlorine based one. No if it is vidine/iodine based.

 

[Rich747]

It's VWP, if that helps?

 

[hairybiker]

Thats a chlorine based, rinsing VERY NECESSARY.

 

[eggman]

Yes definately with vwp! I use that, i thoroughly rinse everything at least 3 times :

Chlorine will react with the phenols from the hops to produce TCP so yes rinse.

Thanks everyone for replies.

Can anyone point me to a brand that doesn't need to be rinsed. When I'm rinsing 80 bottles or so it takes me ages so I was thinking of getting a bottle washer and wondered what the best steriliser is
