Instigator Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I just stick mine in the dishwasher every now and again. I have had some for years that still give a good head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other times I just rinse out with hot water and put it back in the fridge. I do try not to handle my beer glasses with greasy hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus96 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I usually rinse after drinking at the end of the night then stack them till I have around 20 then stick them in the dishwasher on a normal cycle but without any detergent or finish tablets, works for me.

The Captain!! Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 My dishwasher powder is caustic based, local company makes it and it’s great, just not exactly mainstream dishwasher powder. I also use the rinse aid from the same company, again not mainstream stuff and never ever have an issue with head on a beer. Every now and then I’ll soak my favourite beer glasses in perc.

Detroit D Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I always use the dishwasher with finish tablets but give my glass a quick rinse with hot water before I use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Handwash with detergent (my dishwasher just takes up space and hasn't been used for years), rinsed well and air dried. Works well for me. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) I've only had a dishwasher since we bought this house but they all get washed in there now. Just finish tablets or powder, rinse aid is in there as well. Previously I'd soak them in sodium percarbonate followed by a hot water rinse and air dry. Every now and then I'd wash them in detergent. Haven't had any issues with any of these methods, but if anything the glasses hold a head better now than they ever have. Of course, the makeup of the beer itself needs to be advantageous to decent head formation and retention. If it isn't, then it doesn't matter what you do with the glassware, the head will fizzle out pretty quickly.

Disco Stu Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Blast under the hot water tap for about 30 seconds, drain, then into the fridge. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
