I'm sure this has been covered 100 times. I read a few threads and checked a few youtube videos but am still unclear what agents are needed during the cleaning process.
I had some of this batch in a keg and some in bottles. Keg -- A-OK. Bottles -- off taste for sure.
I just soaked them in hot water and scrubbed them with a bottle brush.
(Then sanitized w/ starsan)
So I think my error was not using a cleaning agent prior to sanitizing.
If possible I'd like to do this today w/o a trip to the store. Is dish soap good enough? Should I buy something else for next time?
