How long do bottles stay sanitised?
Once I’ve sanitised my bottles with Star San (well, the Malt Miller version) and put on a sanitised plastic cap, how long will they stay sanitised? I’m thinking a few hours or overnight at the most. I hate bottling and I’d just like to break up the jobs a bit.
Re: How long do bottles stay sanitised?
Good question, probably not that long. I gives them a squirt and hang them on the bottle tree on bottling day. Takes a few seconds a bottle.

See, I never think a squirt gets everywhere so I slosh some in the bottle, give it a shake and then pop the Star San into the next one. I'm paranoid about sanitising so I probably make a rod for my own back.

Not with a bottle sprayer.
2 pumps and hang on the bottle tree.

Aah, I had one of those and broke it very quickly. I might try again as it was a quick way of doing it.
Re: How long do bottles stay sanitised?
This. Best thing i bought for sanitising bottles. Like what LeeH said, two squirts then onto the bottle tree. Once thats all done, beer straight into the bottles.. happy daysLeeH wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 2:00 pmNot with a bottle sprayer.

Re: How long do bottles stay sanitised?
I saw reviews of the one above also saying they broke quickly.
I went for the yellow one which is much less brittle. 1ml starsan in 500ml tap water in a beer bottle, need top ups to allow for speed and wasting some during drainage when bottling a 25 litre brew.
A few residual bubbles don't matter, no hassle and no infection, so far over 600 bottles and going strong:

Re: How long do bottles stay sanitised?
If you capped the bottle and the bottle was sterile at that point it should stay sterile forever.

Re: How long do bottles stay sanitised?
I leave the bottles on the tree overnight and bottle the following day. Had no problems.
Re: How long do bottles stay sanitised?
Probably
Edit: you do now it's a home brewer's placebo, right?
