Dilluh,
Here is my routine. After pouring a beer, I too fill the bottles 3-4 times with hot water vigorously shaking them and turn them upside down. After that I have two five gallon buckets with a strong bleach solution and store them there for anywhere from a a few days to weeks (depending on my needs). I remove them from the bleach bath, rinse each bottle three times hanging them them on a rack I made until dry. Then I put them in cases.
On bottling day, I mix a batch of star san and soak the bottles for 5 minutes and hang them on the rack before filling. So the two steps serve their own purpose, bleach for cleaning and Star San for sanitizing. My question was why "S" posted "friends don't let friends use Star San". Is this not a good sanitizer?
