f-ing twist offs!

[Lushife]

The majority of my 12oz bottles that I didn't buy empty came from Sam Adams, Costco (the variety case pack is cheap and makes for a great selection at a party) and Sierra Nevada. Most of my bombers used to be Stone bottles (a soak in Star San and a quick scrub with a dish sponge takes the silk screen right off).

Can you do that with the rogue bottles?

Sam Adams and New Belgium are the bulk of my bottle collection, but Westmalle 12 oz bottles are weaponized thickness, can definitely tell when you pick one up. Never used twisty bottles, thought the necks were too thin.

Capped 325 bottles today. Nice workout for the capper!

325? Isn't that 30+ gal?

i use summit and sierra bottles. I like the sierra ones better. they are easier to delable. The summit ones you need some really hot water. There glue they use gets harder with the lower the temp. The best bottle i have run across are the one that New Glarus use. Those are supper easy to delable and a nice bottle too.

I used to remove the labels... soak a sh- load of bottle in the tub and scrape and peel... F- that! I just leave 'em on now... I rinse and sanitize and run 'em through the dishwasher while I am getting everything ready to bottle- eventually the labels come off on their own- I kind of like refilling a bottle of Sam Adams with a half-peeling-off label with some great homebrew... bottling is a pain in the ass as it is- it became much easier when I decided to not bother to remove labels anymore

8 kegs; some were full and some were partly full. I usually have a buddy help me by running the capper while I run the beer gun but had to do both this time. Took quite awhile!

Bought 62 dozen bottles last night; will clean and delabel in the coming days...freshly used so at least I won't be dealing with mould, etc.

I use Yuengling bottles from the old school style cardboard cases, and recently been getting Straub beer in 16 oz cases with the old school brown heavy duty cases. I like to age stouts and Belgians, for year, but other then that I keg for my bar.

I bought a 12 pack of leinenkugel berry summer shandy the other day. It was 6 dollars for a twelve back, only to find out they are twist offs. Trying to build up my collection yet, so I was really disappointed, plus the beer isn't great, and it was expired, hence the price lol.

Oh well.
