metal bottles

[NM68657]

Has anyone tried using the new aluminum bottles that Budweiser makes to store their beer? They are vacuum sealed 16 ounces and stored at 22 degrees. I noticed the cap has more rubber than a standard cap, but wasn't sure if they would work or not.

i bought an 18 pack of them recently, and they did not work for bottling...sucks..maybe its just my bottler but because they dont have the needed "lip" they just dont work.

likely only works with a bench capper. my buddies' wing capper won't seal New Belgium bottles tight, and I tried one of the really old Guinness non-draft bottles and didn't get a seal either.
