I've been saving up Grolsch bottles to use in bottling my first batch (it's 10 days into primary now). What are people's opinions of them vs. regular pry-off bottles? Should I replace the gaskets for the first re-use or not (presuming I use them)?
I understand the perils of green glass, I'm more curious about the swing-tops vs. crowns. I already have a red baron hand capper and caps, so that's not an issue.
I also have a few champagne/sparkling cider bottles that I'm planning on using to have a few bigger bottles around.
EDIT: And it's not a pressing question, I plan on racking to secondary for a couple of weeks once primary is done and cleaned up.
