So for the first time ever I was soaking my rubber stopper and starsan and within a couple of minutes it begin to turn Brown. Never had this before. It only seem to do it with a drilled bungs that I get for my Brew jacket. Anyone have any clues as to what might cause this?
I try not to discuss my bung on the Internet. [emoji851]
…but I’ve never heard of this discoloration.
You can bleach your bung
Wouldn’t that burn Jim?
I hope not… Cause im seriously considering it at this time…

Dunno, never bothered trying.
That’s very LA of you.
To OP - did you have any metals in the solution too?
Now that you mention it, I did have the lid to my SS brew bucket in the same tub.
Stainless wouldn’t be an issue. I was thinking aluminum, copper or brass.
what is wrong with a brown bung? who cares what color it is as long as it functions correctly.

Still nice to know what caused it considering Star San is clear
