Hi all
Hoping for some advice here, with a capping problem... I think.
So the scenario is I bottled 120 x 330ml bottles, brand new from supplier A, on thursday with caps from supplier B.
Problem is I can twist the caps after crimping, on about 80% of the bottles.
Thought it was because of the long -neck bottle/ wing capper problem, but I had a bench capper available from a neighbour so I did a quick re-cap to make sure and I can still twist the caps.
Have tried a variety of caps( 1 colour is rock solid?? Blue, in case you were wandering) as I had spare colours from left over batches but the twist problem persists. Except for the blue.?
I now think the problem could be the bottles themselves. Have retried the various colour caps with both bench and wing capper on older used, shop bought beer bottles and no problemo.
My question is what do I do?
Or do i need to do anything at all now and just wait a few weeks and try recarb and recap later?
This is new territory to me, only 8 AG brews done, all issues to date have been with hops and timings, bottlings been a walk in the park so far.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Keep brewing
