Default Bottles ???

Can you use any beer bottles that are not "twist off"? ie Sam Adams, etc.?
THANKS,
Jimi

One item to keep in mind. European bottles are slightly smaller in the mouth than North American ones.

Yeah...Dos XX bottles are a pain in the butt with a wing capper, but are useable. Bass, DogFish Head, Full Sail, and others all work great!

Get your self a bench capper and you'll have no worries with any kind, twistoff or not.

Though the champagne bottles around here seem to big for bottle caps.
