Did you ensure there was no solidified 'gunk' at the bottom of your bottles? I look at every bottle anymore after being bitten by random failures. Also, I Starsan the **** out of them.
I actually cleaned these very thoroughly. 3 of them are entered into a contests. The oven ones thankfully. I’m pretty sure it’s dishwasher soap which makes no sense to me
My old dishwasher went out so I installed a new LG dishwasher and put in a water softener at the same time. This dishwasher will now sparkle some glasses. We have very very very hard water in Indiana
I brew with RO water
I’m learning the controls of the new dishwasher and am obsessed with head retention at the moment so I wanted to sterilize my Belgian bottles in the oven. For an experiment on head retention I put three bottle to sanitize in dishwasher. No soap
Just to make sure the rimse aid off works
The head retention was similar though better in the sterilized bottles. Perhaps my best Tripel ever. Then I opend the dishwasher bottle. Ugh. I still can’t get that awful taste out of my mouth
I think somehow there is some leftover er dishwasher liquid or something. Or maybe rinse aid. I never bothered with it before cause of the hard water. I turned it off a week before bottling.
I’m really not sure, but I got bottles sterilizing in the oven for my blonde.
