Yesterday I bottled my 5th. batch and had two bottles that broke while capping them.
Most of my bottles are recycled Sam Adams and other HB purchased 6 packs.
I have only purchased 12 22oz.
I have @ 150 bottles in stock (thanks to a brother in law that has a pizza parlor and sell beer) and have only capped these ones or twice.
Is this to be expected to break an occasional bottle?
I am still using the two handed capper that came with the kit.
The caps that I used on this batch came for the LHB.
They seem to need a little pressure to seat them.
Is there a difference in caps?
To make matters worse I opened my first bottle of my Wheat beer tonight and the neck broke when I popped the cap!
Second on tasted great!
Thanks
