OK guys. I was just wanting to know how yal take care of your drinking glasses. Do you just hand wash then let them air dry? Do you dry them off with a clean cloth? Or is this a stupid question....

When I first got the Kegorator, I wanted to be sure every glass was "beer glass clean". That means no soap residue to impact the flavor of the beer. One way to acheive this is to rinse your glass with hot water then sprinkle with table salt. Use a clean rag or your fingers to scrub the salt in the glass then rince. When it's "Beer glass clean" water will not leave any spots. When you pour the beer in, you'll get nice legs with your foam. These days, I just put them in the Dishwasher...

No glassware in the dishwasher for this guy. Ever. Not even plastic cups, actually. No matter how high-end the dishwasher, how fancy the detergent, how perfectly treated the water, there is always some etching. And I can feel it. I feel it on my hands. I feel it on my lips. And to me, putting that to my mouth is like nails on a chalkboard.
I hand wash, hand dry, then move to a second spot on the towel and dry again to ensure there are never any water spots and everything is crystal clear.

This, without the overly anal retentive drying part :)

Lol I guess I'm the only one without a dishwasher!
I use the dishwasher almost every time. To set my glass in while it dries. I handwash everything. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and place in the dishwasher to dry.
To be clear I don't turn the dishwasher on. It's a large drying rack. With fancy spiny things to hold the glass.

If it's just one glass that I was having a couple drinks out of, I always hand wash. If it's after a night of drinking with the guys at the bar, they get the dishwasher treatment. The savages seem to drink out of a new glass every beer. By the time they leave I have 40 glasses to wash and am too "tired" hand wash them all!
