Does anyone use them? I tried once and had too hard a time capping them and would like advice on capping, or some form of trade (if you are in the denver area). I have nearly 6 cases. this might better belong in an ISO but I didn't know which.
do you mean the little 6.3oz bottles, often clear? although I don't have any harder time capping those than 12oz longnecks, so probably not understanding what you meant
Certain cappers works better than others on certain bottle types. It might just be your capper. If you have a LHBS, bring a few caps and a bottle and try out their bottle cappers to see which one works best.
I'm right behind ya` on this. My wing capper can handle some crowns but not others. They SHOULD all be the same size and all 12 oz bottles. It just feels like i have to break my capper off of the lid after I crimp it on some bottles. Hopefully others have this experience?
The shape of the neck and the collars around the top of the neck make a difference. I have an old black bottle capper that won't cap certain bottles, and a newer red one that caps all bottles well (except larger cap sizes or corked).
I have that red capper and it has your black capper problems. I keg most of my stuff and place masking tape on the side of those bottles that cap poorly. It says, "Toss" so I know to drink if first and throw the bottle in the recycling.
When you say larger caps, do you mean the 29mm? If so, you just need to buy a separate magnet and adapter attachment for the Red Capper. Once you do that, it'll work beautifully.
Probably. I.E. the cap for a duvel bottle 25oz, non-corked, and some corked bottles that have a cap on top and a standard wine bottle style cork.
