well, im about to bottle my first homebrew batch.
the beer is on the last week of second fermentation.
So i'll bottle in like a week or so
i collected a few bottles and i too have all kind of bottles lol
i first cleaned them all with hot water, soap, and some with baking soda.
but of course before bottling them, i will sanitize them all into star san solution.
the kegs with CO2 will be for the future, but i will certainly go that way one day or another.
oh yea and some bottles labels are really hard to remove, so what i do is making like a pasta with half olive oil and half baking soda.
apply this on the glue of the bottle, then clean that wit ha good sponge, and it really works great
