I bottled my first batch today and I was a little concerned because I tried the bottle capper just for fun when I got it and the bottles opened VERY easily (they're twist off bottles/caps.) I figured there's no good way to test pressure but I can at least see if it was liquid tight so I filled a bottle with water and left it upside down in a glass for a week. Nothing leaked and when I opened it it didn't feel or look like any got under the cap. But then when I was bottling my dad came into the room and started poking around, he grabbed a bottle and was surprised when the cap came off with minimal twisting (I still have no idea why he was trying to open the bottle )
Anyways, in your guys' brewing experience are the store bought caps usually pretty loose? they seem to have sealed pretty well and fit over all the glass threads.
