Damo Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Keeping in mind that cleanliness is close to holinness , I have been sterilising my crown seal bottle caps , then rinsing them with hot water before capping.Is this advisable or am I taking paranoia toward infection to a higher level ?

91abv_chris Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I do the same, but with iodine based sanitizer. Better to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Waters Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I rarely sanitise my crown seal caps. If they are straight out of the pack I don't bother. The rare times that I do I just drop them in an iodophor solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 At the brewery, the crown seals are supplied in large cardboard bulk bins. They are tipped straight from the bin, onto a magnetic belt, into the capping carousel and pushed onto the bottles. Coopers Crown Seals, straight from the pack, don't require sanitising.
