This probably should be in the general beer section, but I thought I might get more knowledgeable input in this forum. Some questions about using bottles:
- I have a number of Jolly Pumpkin bottles. I've not tried to use them yet. Do they take normal bottles caps, and will standard cappers work. Since the bottle gets bigger below the cap, I'm thinking there may be a problem.
- Do the small Duvel and Chimay type bottles take higher pressures than regular bottles, and do they take standard caps?
- Large Belgian bottles (and champagne bottles) needing corks and cages. Cages are re-usable, are corks? What are the best corks to use. Anything to know about the difference between Belgian bottles and Champagne bottles. I'm starting to collect a lot of these bottles and would like to use them for high carbonation beers, but want to know what I am getting in to.
