My first post here. I wish I had found and consulted this forum several weeks ago. I took a break from home brewing after my last batch failed to carbonate. I thought it was due to a too long of a secondary fermentation. Wrong. I read here, after I bottled my last back, about the issues with the LHBS swing-tops. My first regular bottle was awesome! Grolsch bottle - great. First LHBS swing-top great. Today I am 0 for 2. No carbonation - none! I know now that it is the bottles. I won't wait 2 years again. I'll be buying large, cap bottles and a bench capper.
What a waste!!! The three I had were awesome - couldn't wait to share them with friends.
Sorry for the rant, but I knew you guys would understand. Please if you are thinking of trying them, buy the Grolsch or other store brands - you know they'll work.
I've only brewed 5 batches and each one was getting better...then I started using swing-tops.
