Bottle/Carboy/Demijohn Brushes, Washers, Rinsers, Fillers, Drainers
To see just how easy bottling should be, have a look at our bottling video on YouTube: Bottling Made Easy. He is using a Craft Range Bottle Tree and a Craft Range Rinser. If you use these with Chemipro OXI or Starsan, then you don't even have to rinse the bottles! When you buy a Craft Range kit, you can select bundle options to get all of these at close to a third of the normal price.
CLEANING OR DISINFECTING?
Cleaning and disinfection are indissolubly bound up with one another. Cleaning involves removing visible and invisible dirt and is done with a conventional detergent such as sodium triphosphate. Do not use any standard kitchen products (Dreft, Mr. Propre, Cif etc.) as they are mostly scented and obviously the scent can have a harmful effect on your wine/beer. Disinfection involves killing bacteria, fungi, yeasts etc. and is mostly done using a product based on active chlorine, hydrogen peroxide or iodine. Equipment must always be cleaned before it can be disinfected! There are also combination products on the market. Belgian and Dutch legislation prevents us from describing a product as having a disinfectant action without having it registered as a pesticide. For small companies this is a wearisome and exorbitantly expensive process. Hence you will not find ‘disinfectant’ on any single piece of packaging.
