What can be used to stop infection at bottling?

...sanitation....

I've seen a couple threads today that have had people talking about things turning bad in the bottle.

I realize that would preclude bottle carbing with yeast. ...just wondering what results I'd get if I started a thread with that title.

...and possibly interesting - informed answers - or even amusing ones....

an infection in the bottle can start in the bottling bucket or the individual bottle. a good cleaning and sanitation regime should take care of both of those. not sure what you mean about precluding bottle carbing with yeast since there really is no other way to do it.

ditto clean and sanitize...

Recently, I noticed a small about of 'nasty' inside my bottle filler. No amount of scrubbing nor a 48 hr soak in star-san would dislodge it. So, I picked up a new one...

Always inspect your equipment.

I've found bottling bucket spigots to always be a pain to clean... I try to boil all piece parts when I remember it.

Use care where you bottle. Remove yourself from drafts, breezes, children, dogs ...

Cover your bucket while bottling. I use sanitized tin foil.

cleanliness is next to godliness ... or something like that
