With the amount of liquid being shot up into the bottles, I don't think them leaning will matter at all. The splashing going on will cover all surfaces. If it bugs you just lean them or turn them every now and again.

As I mentioned, it could be because I tried the oxy type cleaner for the first wash test but it looked like the ones that were leaning had "dry" spots i.e. the water wasn't cascading uniformly.

It's hard to tell with the amber bottles I might have to pull those clear Newcastles out for another test run.

How did I miss this before? This is freakin' awesome. It actually makes me want to wash and sanitize bottles.

I'm still tweaking some stuff but hopefully the bottle brush goes in the trash soon. :p
