I've got a few of clip n clamp bottles. I was wondering if there is any disadvantage to these over using a regular capper. I have about 12 and wanted to bottle in those and then keg the rest. Probably stupid question but just wondering if clip n clamp = capping?
 
What the heck are you on about?

Are you talking about swing-tops? AKA Grolsch bottles?

If so, I personally believe they are "handier" when you need to do a quick fill to take somewhere. Otherwise, they work good enough, but I'd prefer a cap for long-term. Not that you can't use them long-term, but since they are not usually as plentiful, I like to save them for special times, like when handing out samples to friends to try. It looks more impressive.
 
I was talking about the swing top. I like your mentality maybe I will save them for a quickfill type of thing, to show of the homebrew of course. Just didn't know if you could carb in a swing top. Its just as easy to bring out the capper. Thanks!
