Oxygen Absorbing Bottle Caps
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 9:26 pm
I ordered a bag of oxygen absorbing bottle caps so I could bottle some kegged brew to send in to the show. I intend on sanitizing the caps before use, but the B3 website says they activate when wet.
How does one properly sanitize these types of bottle caps? Wouldn't sanitizing them "activate" them? And if so, does that decrease their effectiveness?

I read somewhere that getting them wet activated the O2 thing so to use them dry right out of the bag. I did that for a while and then I got paranoid and started dipping them in star san. That is what I'm doing now anyway. I would also love a good answer on this one.
