Long term nic storage - sterilise or not?

[Dissone]

Hi all - after 2 years+ of buying premade juice the TPD has finally prompted me to get into diy. Now I have just had 2ltrs of 72 pg nic delivered courtesy of Darkstar and am about to decant it into 20 x 100ml amber glass bottles for long term freezer storage. Question is, do I need to sterilise the bottles first or should I stick em in the dishwasher on a hot wash, or something else?

A good dishwashing is probably fine but I wash, rinse, then stick them in the oven for half an hour at 150C just to be sure. Makes you feel confident that they are really sterile.

I sterilise with Miltons then rinse with boiled water.

Thanks for the replies - dishwasher then oven it is as I don't have any Miltons available.

Thanks oldleatherlungs - bottles were from ampulla.co.uk cost me just under £20 including delivery for 25 x100ml and they were really well packaged.

For those not in the know, Milton's are in most supermarkets, boots, pharmacies, mothercare and a few corner shops.

It's what you use to sterilise baby's bottles.

£1/£2 a box.

Sterile's good but you know if you're storing nic in PG ... not many germs are going to be alive in that bottle.

Ampulla here also. For my most recent order I went for their 250ml bottles and kinda wish I had used those from the start.

Like anyone has any use for PG nic'.
