Last night I bottled my First batch of Apfelwein.
I used Heineken Bottles with oxygen barrier caps and a bench capper. After capping, I was able to twist some of the caps alittle bit. They moved slightly side to side, but if turned upside down, no liquid leaked out. This is the first time I used heineken bottles and the o2 caps. The caps still had star san on them when capped, could enable the cap to move? Or are those bottles that had movement not sealed?
On a side note, that Apfelwein is GOOD! I had a half of bottle left when done so I drank it. It taste great without carbanation. Next time I think I will split the batch.
Thanks,
Dave
I tried to attach a picture, don't know if it will work.
