I've gone to clean and sterilise the bottles from the garage - following advice on another thread and found that the flooding/high water table in South Yorkshire has caused the swing tops to go rusty even though the garage itself didn't flood.
Ive stripped the swing tops from the bottles, and am soaking both the bottles and swing tops in separate oxy baths overnight to remove the rust/crud before rinsing and sanitising the bottles with Star San and boiling the swing tops..
If I'm not happy with the results I'll get rid and replace - I have a bag of spare swing tops I can use, and don't foresee a problem with the glass bottles.
Lesson learned I think - ill be using plastic storage boxes with cheap moisture absorbers in future, rather than cardboard boxes...
