Soaking and brushing just doesn't quite do the job.<br />Off to get some gravel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971443171317468019.post-63040537504921794292013-01-02T02:02:44.046-08:002013-01-02T02:02:44.046-08:00Have you noticed an increase of bottles rupturing ...Have you noticed an increase of bottles rupturing under pressure at all?<br /><br />Commercial beer line cleaners that are used in the hospitality industry use a very similar method, all be it smaller particles to fit through the lines. it breaks down the material and the solution breaks down and kills the yeast. <br /><br />Have you thought of using a beer line cleaning solution in conjunction with the stones. I use Bracton Twin for old bottles, brings it back to a complete static clean state. Plus I dont know what has been in the bottles previously, so I 'nuke it', then return to normal sanitiser there after.<br /><br />http://www.onestopbarshop.com.au/chemicals/1724-bracton-twin-handipak-1-litre.htmlDwayne - Home Brewinghttp://www.onestopbarshop.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971443171317468019.post-83863295281915810692012-11-21T00:24:37.507-08:002012-11-21T00:24:37.507-08:00As I see it, it's quite difficult and a lot of...As I see it, it's quite difficult and a lot of things to do to make that glass cleans.

Too often family members visit us (From Melbourne to where we are now, near Byron) and we just box the beers up. <br /><br />I learnt the hard way that even bottle cleaning solution doesn't work. I had to use a skewer.<br /><br />But this is an awesome idea.<br /><br />Given how many we have, this saves chucking a bunch out (I think I have around 300 to clean).<br /><br />Needless to say, now I rinse in hot water right away dry, then store upside down so they just need a rinse in hot soapy water then into the oven before use)<br /><br />Tim MTimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929933758766018016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971443171317468019.post-59206568775027429602012-11-03T01:40:46.889-07:002012-11-03T01:40:46.889-07:00Great idea Richard.
