This could be a daft question but do you have to use new screw caps on every new brew??

Also is there a limit to how many time PET bottles can be used due to wear and tear on the threads, i wouldn't want to loose pressure due to this.

Thanks
 
You can put all the screw top lids in a bowl and pour boiling water on them. This cleans and sanitises.
 
I've reused my pet bottles about 6 or 7 times now. The last time I used them I rinsed out after pouring a beer and put the caps back on. This time round I just sprayed them with star san and then bottled a new brew. So far I've had about 10 beers out of the batch and they've all been fine.
 
When re using my lids I noticed the the white film on the inside of some of the lids was missing!
Does this matter does anyone know?
Thanks in advance
 
They're very strong
