Re: new newbie

Will any container large enough to hold it all at once do for bulk priming?
I just found an old 25l warter container with a tap that i had lying around.

Thanks again for all your help

steam sterilizing bottles

Hi guy
i was just wondering if i could use the steam wand of my coffee machine to sterilize my bottles.

My thinking is that i can just go through and clean everything just before i start a brew then just run some steam through the bottles before filling.

TIA
