I'm having a hell of a time capping stubby bottles anymore. I used to clean every bottle I could, to fill it with my product, including Woodchuck bottles. These bottles were a pain in the butt to get the label off and clean, so I stopped using those and threw them out. I never really had a problem with these bottles, for what I can remember. Founders and Sierra Nevada both use stubbers, and I've been buying them recently.
The problem is that I use the black wing style capper that commonly comes in kits. When I try to clamp it down, it doesn't start to grab the bottle until I'm almost pushed all the way down. It just doesn't seem that it is completely crimping the cap. Also, when I try to open the ones that this happens to, the neck completely breaks off about 1/2 inch down from the cap.
Who should I stop buying from? Any one else have this problem?
