We generally use the BT too.

When we cut it we like to get it cooled down so it will keep better at the market. We put it in a large sink with heavy dose of bleach in the water (2 cups / 40 gal) and put crates on top to keep it under water for at least an hour. IF there are any worms, they usually end up on the bottom of the sink after that. The bleach helps kill them but also keeps any disease that may be unseen on a head from contaminating the whole batch.
