Caps properly sealed?

[Mike7431]

Hello Everyone!

Bottled a batch of weizenbier earlier today and I wanted to know if I capped my beers right. I was told that after I cap the bottle I shouldn't be able to twist the cap. I was using a wing capper throughout the process and I never capped a bottle that I couldn't twist after. They weren't easy to move but they twisted all the same. Do you guys think my beers are sealed enough? I want to make sure my beers carbonates properly. Nobody likes a flat brew

Turn them upside down, if they don't leak they're fine. A crown cap will almost always turn if the proper amount of pressure is applied, so don't worry about that aspect. If they move too easily, that could be an issue

If the sides of the cap aren't drimped down far enough, the Co2 can leak out. Then o2 can get sucked in, oxidizing the beer to smell & taste like moldy cardboard. If tight & really hard to turn, they're probably fine.
