    I had one pop the top in transit and about 2/3 of the beer leaked out. Have y'all had this happen or heard of this happening? At least the Krunkin made it intact.

    I've had many Jester Kings and an Endeavour pop their tops in transit. Some just came up a bit, some blew the top completely.

    The first DR12 I picked up at the store (a bomber) was actually leaking when I picked it up. Put that shit back and got another.

    Good to know it wasn't a solo act.

    I had 3 bombbers in the Fridge, I pulled a few bottles out to get to what I wanted and the thing just came right off.. It was like 10:00 Am, so had to do a drainpour...

    Hell... I recently waxed the tops of all my DR12s recently... Hopfully I dont have any leaks in the feature. They will stay put here in Oklahoma for atleast a year or two(fingers crossed)

    We've had a couple of DR12 bombers start gushing at work with little-to-no coaxing.

    Are we talking just bombers, or the small bottles as well? I've mailed out several of the small bottles with no issues so far, but dont have bombers.

    Last year's Pumpkinator had issues too. Kevin lost two back-to-back shipments to the same guy.

    This bottle was a small bottle.

    We got couple of cases of DR 12 bombers and couple cases of sixers sitting in the cooler for later release and did not have any problem with them YET --

    you can actually get twist caps tighter on a bottle than non twist.
    as far as sealing, well thats a different story. Doesnt explain the caps just falling off, that appears to be a capping issue from SA as well as the leaking. I didnt think there was a lot of carbonation on the one I opened. thanks for the heads up.
