So I bottled my first batch of beer one week ago. I couldn't wait any longer and popped one open last night. (I know I know... anyway, after pouring and drinking (yum) I noticed some red around the neck of the bottle which led me to investigate the cap. The bottom edge of the cap around the fringe, was rusted.
I had soaked my caps in starsan immediately prior to capping. I also rinsed my bottles because I had spilled a little beer in the process of filling and capping.
Is it normal for some rust to form on the cap? All the rust is on the "outside" of the bottle so I'm assuming my beer is safe.
