Bottling with Negra Modelo bottles

[yodalegomaster]

I have never seen Negra Model bottles, What's it like to bottle with them ? I understand using Corona bottles; They are more difficult to use but I seem to be able to do it successfully. Are the Negra Model and corona the same types of bottle tops?

I have a wing capper and don't experience any troubles or difficulties using these bottles.

Hmm I haven't bottled in a while (kegging ftw!) but as I recall, my NM bottles were a little tricky to cap. Like the size of the lip wasn't exactly the right size. I remember chucking all my NM bottles for fear that they wouldn't seal and I'd have flat beer.

Yeah I have had issues with those bottles, too. Both Negra Modelo and Bohemia bottles sometimes get mixed in with my other bottles, and then I have to cull them out because they don't quite fit correctly.

Never had a problem with NM bottles and have at least a case of them buried somewhere amongst the brew equipment

The wing capper sometimes doesn't get them sealed just right, but a bench style capper will work. I just recycle them now because the foil is a B**** to get off. Save yourself the time and just get some regular bottles like Sam Adams or New Belgium bottles as the lables come right off, and are easy to cap.
