so my last batch I have had aroudn 50% gushers. thinking some of my bottles may have gotten infected while carbing
maybe I need to tighten up my cleaning . I always rinse well in hot water after drinking a long neck to get any bits out . then usually rinse in boiling water on bottling day, clean with a brush ,rinse again , then sanitise with idophor . havent had any issues in 12 or so brews so far exepct this last one but its annoying so figure it may be worth soaking them in something to degunk them a little more befroe idophor
been reading about all the stuff you get from HBS but I cant get there for a couple weeks .
what around the home options are there ? regular dishwasing detergent seems like a bad idea from what I've read
I have a batch ready to bottle and would rather not wait till I can get to HBS
