Hi again
I have a friend who sterilises her glass jars (for making jam) in the oven by simply baking them for a certain amount of time. I was wondering if anyone has used/is using this method to sterlised their glass beer bottles before bottling. Thanks for any advice. Amanda.
G'day Amanda,
A good, cheap, easy steriliser is unscented bleach. A better one is iodophor.
See John Palmer's book for details:
Also, there are some good tips for Aussie brewers on on this site:
cheers, Ross.

Yea, it's called autoclaving, they do it all the time in chemistry to sterilize glassware. I've never had a big enough oven to fit two cases of beer bottles in though, Victor
