Hi

Does anyone know where I can get a bottle draining tree?
Can't seem to find them for sale anywhere.

thanks

It shows wine bottles in the pic. I've never used one myself, but I guess it'll take beer bottles also.

i agree but if your storing bottles a small bit of moisture will cause them to mould. always make sure the bottles are totally dry b4 storage

yeah I'm keen to recycle bottles and store them for future use. I also will be needing a lot of bottles. Just ordered one from H&G and had a nice chat with the guy about a therminator from Blikman engineering - v.nice.

thanks

I like the idea of the bottle rinser. I'd hope that it would reuse the same solution meaning that it would be so much quicker and easier to sanitze all my bottles.

Not too expensive either so might buy one.

The wife is going a little nuts on the amount of money I keep spending. May have to wait for my birthday before I get anything else :)

Try the 'it's an investment as we won't have to spend so much money on expensive bottles of beer from the supermarket' line of reasoning. It might work.. for a while :D

Do you need the bottle drainer to use the bottle rinser?

Yeah they look pretty sweet, wish I could afford one :beer

oh POP - I tried spraying sanitizer into my bottles using a regular hand spray (like you get in the wilkos garden section for 49p) and had difficulty but I've found that with the downtube removed and by holding it upside down it (and pulling the trigger with the two fingers between my index and little finger) it actually makes an excellent bottle sanitizer.
