I have ran into an issue. I am about to bottle and Amber Ale. I have got all my equipment and started sanitizing. When I got my bottle caps out to sanitize I seen that around the edges on some of the caps there is some light rust and rust ring on the ziplock bag.
The last time I bottled I just dumped the whole bag into some starsan to sanitize. I pat dried the ones not used and put them in a ziplock bag, I didn't realize that they would rust or wouldn't have soaked bag and would have made sure to dry more carefully.
2 questions. If sanitized again can these be used? I would think so but not sure. And 2nd, I don't have any other caps and my not so LHBS is 2 hours away and closed and I would be able to get there until late this week. Is there any place that sells bottle caps besides a LHBS?
Thanks for any help!
