So I accidentally taped the labels on some beers I am submitting for competition rather than rubber banding them on. I've already packed up the box sealed it and have it ready to ship tomorrow.

I may be in the minority here but I literally hate starsan. After using iodophor for sanitation for over three years with no infections whatsoever I decided to give starsan a try. This was a big mistake...here are a few of the things that I dislike about it: 1. When filling my kegs all of the...
