Melissa could we add essential oils to this final stage eg Ginger, Lime or Peppermint?

Hi, does the metal lids not react ? Lol trying to pinpoint my murdering mine
Haven’t had an issue with my lids… I don’t fill them up too high. Swing top bottles are great as they keep the fizz well (like an old grolsch beer bottle) so this may be an option if you’ve had issues?

Yep I killed a batch or two with the oils. Shows how powerful they are!!
