A while ago I had bottled a batch and used about 6 anchor bottles. I was concerned that because of the high lip that the capper graps onto they were not fully sealed. Capping one of those bottles does not take the same effort required to cap a regular bottle. Anyways I didn't end up with any flat beers so it was fine.
A while later and I had drank quite a few more Anchor beers and bottled a batch last night using about 18 of these bottles. One bottle I broke the top off, got lucky and it was high enough that beer didn't spill out. Another one I cracked the neck just under the cap. Quite a few bottles made grinding glass sounds as I was capping them. I inspected every bottle and couldn't find any cracks but if I have any flat beers the bottle gets tossed. I have more than enough bottles that I am not using any of Achor's bottles to bottle with untill I have myself a bench capper.
Has anyone else run across bottles that are difficult to use with a wing capper?
