I wanted to get everyone's opinion on what bottles and caps you prefer to use.
I started out brewing smaller batches and used the flip top style bottles. However, I'm wanting to get more into brewing larger batches and want to bottle in 12oz bottles for giving to friends and family. I like the 12oz bottle because I can recycle some and purchase any additional needed, while the crown caps are relatively inexpensive.
I've had an issue though with some of the cheaper crown caps, some of them are not holding their seal and the bottles are losing carbonation. Also, because I am brewing in larger batches, I'm worried about the freshness of the beer lasting a few months.
I've had the best luck with some bottle caps I found on Amazon called Beer Is a Journey Crown Caps.
They are a little pricer at $9.99 but seem to work a lot better than the cheap ones. I like the look of them for sharing with people as well but wish they came in different colors to identify the different brews.
Has anyone else tried these caps? Also, would you recommend them? What caps do you use?
