+1 Maheels advice (of course). Re cleaning bottles, I keep a horsehair bottlebrush handy near the kitchen sink and (try to) make sure I give the empties a good rinse and brush before letting them drain and store. That way, there's almost never any nasties to deal with at next bottling. Don't forget that sunlight is a great steriliser too :handgestures-thumbupleft:...
and , if your using glass bottles, let the beer ferment out for as long as you can stand to wait (and then some, dont rely on the lack of airlock bubbling) prior to bottling; as well as doing SG tests as Maheel mentioned. IMHO, the only bad thing about homebrewing is if you bottle too early and have to deal with the potentially-nasty consequences :shock: :angry-banghead: :crying-yellow: Its a genuinely scary thing to have to 'disarm/defuse(?) beerbombs '. :oops:
