Tiki Bird knows how to do this, but for the non-homebrewers on the board: "In a large tub, or your kitchen sink, make a mixture of about 2 ounces of unscented bleach per 5 gallons of cold water. After sanitizing rinse thoroughly with plain water to remove all traces of bleach. For all items that will fit in the sink, let them soak in the solution for about 10 minutes and then rinse thorougly." Thanks FFL, you can also boil your bottles, jars, & caps in 180+ deg. water as well. Tbird
