Okay, so about a month ago i bottled a batch of graff and something didn't go as I had planned.
It was a five gallon batch, 1 gallon of which i had racked off and spiced. I bottled the majority of the Un spiced graff in swing tops and the rest with crown caps and all of the spiced with crowns.
Now, every bottle I've opened with a crown, spiced or not, has been all but still. Both of the swing tops swmbo and i had last night were beautifully carbonated and delicious.
I'm planning on bottling two 5 gallon batches today and now I'm worried that my wing capper isn't working properly.
Could the caps i used have an effect? She saw some cider caps with apples printed on them at the lhbs and decided that's what would go on our graff, lol.
Maybe cider crowns aren't designed for pressure? It seems like they would be.
Funny thing is, i was worried about the swing tops not dealing properly.
