Thread: vial - rubber stopper vs. plastic

    vial - rubber stopper vs. plastic

    My question is when you homebrew do you need to get rubber stoppers for your vials or is it ok to use plastic screw caps. I don't see why not. There was a someone that I read about that had a problem with getting little pieces of rubber into the vial. Any comments would be great thanks.

    So just the little bit of air thats in your home can contaminate your brew? If that is the case then why not just go outside on a nice day and cap it?

    Enough of this box talk. I asked a simple question with a simple answer; and yes I get it a couple of posts ago, ..... it's not a good idea to cap your own vials. Though I have heard of other people doing it. Not with a screw cap but like I suggested. But anyway.
