Hey there,
I've got a question for you guys. I wanted to bottle my first apfelwein batch in some clear bottles. I bought a couple cases of sleeman's to drink and... keep the bottles. Those bottles are the twist-off kind. So, I drank all the beer and this morning was the time for me to bottle my Apfelwein. Did it and it went pretty well. Cleaned the bottles and dryed them with a dish cloth (I don't know if that is the good way to say that but in french, it is "Linge à vaisselle"). I wiped a couple of bottles and I twisted-off 1 bottle super easily. I tried another one and it was the same thing again. None of them are leaking but you can twist them off so easily that I'm scared that they won't be thightly sealed.
I used a bench capper with the right type of caps... Is that normal? Did it happen to anybody else out here? Do I need to RDWHAHB?
Thanks!
J-F!
