a buddy of mine gave me quite a few bottle caps to use that he didn't need. most of them were fine, but a number of them had the beginnings of rust. it wipes off with just a rub but i am worried about contamination. i know they are cheap but i'm not worried about cost. i don't want to just...

what would be an equal substitute of honey for the sugar enclosed in a kit? we have a belgian style going and they gave us a packet of sugar, and we were trying to figure out how much honey vs. sugar should be used. any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. :mug:
