Custom Growlers + Infected Homebrew... Help!

[TanMan15]

Every year I make my family and friends a batch of home brew for Christmas. My in-laws have always given me their bottles back and asked me to fill them back up on my next batch, so this year I got custom stainless steel growlers made for them. The only problem is that the batch I filled them with ended up being infected. I don't have an issue with dumping most of my equipment, but I really don't want to dump these growlers. As a matter of fact, what I'd like to do is have them filled back up at a local brewery for that sake of having Christmas gifts to give out, but I'm worried about the infection.

I cleaned them with B-Brite and Star-Sans, but what are your thoughts? Is that enough to kill the infection before filling them back up? Anything else that I should do?

A good cleaning with pbw or b brite and a Star San soak should be fine. Besides, it's for the in-laws, so who cares

Not sure about the lids but the bottles should take baking or boiling water. That should kill anything. Cleaning and soaking in Starsan should also be enough.

Clean with PBW, Bake in the oven 225 for an hour, Star San or BTF Iodophor your good to go
