I've never seen six quart bottles, and don't think I'd use them, because I usually can't drink six quarts in one sitting.
youve never seen 6 32 ounce bottles? go to a gas station, they usually contain old english 800.
Re-use twist off caps?

So I opened that sam adams bottle that I had capped with a twist-off and there was a loud hiss as it was opened and there were a LOT of bubbles still in the carbonated water as I poured it into a glass, and there was a layer of foamy bubbles on the top of the glass. Tastes just like it was fresh out of the plastic bottle. Sooo if you actually take care to make a good seal, twist-off caps appear to be just as viable as crown tops. Only way to be more certain would to have been to create 10 of them and see out of that ten how many had good seals, alas, I did not do that. However, in this one instance the twist-off cap did a perfect job!
Still, I do not intend to or suggest that anyone re-use non-crown caps for bottling. They aren't as reliable, even if I did have success here. :fro:
