Last bottling session, I had a few o2 absorbing bottle caps that did not make the cut and were not used for bottling. They were soaked in SanStar for the entire 5 gal session and were later laid out to dry. should I toss these caps or toss them back into the caps stock and use at a later date?
Left over unused bottle caps soaked in SanStar. Dry and reuse?

Because it's judgement that defeats us.
Use. Don't expect O2 absorption.
Then again, I'm not sold on O2 absorption when they are fresh.

I'd use them. But, I think the oxygen absorbing properties would probably be done. My recollection is that they are activated by moisture.
I typically use regular caps.

I agree, there may be some degree of degradation of O2 absorption, but I would use them. I have used the O2 caps and am not convinced they do anything different.
Regular caps unless you are going to store bottles for a couple of years or more.
