Oxygen Absorbing Caps worth it?

[maxamuus]

Gonna bottle my first beer tomorrow (went kegging from the beginning). Want to Age some beers that i know wont be every day beers and wanna age some holiday beers. For beers that will be conditioned for 3 months are standard bottle caps fine are Oxygen Absorbing Caps better route?

Have some regular ones i bought while back just wondering i should have gotten the Oxygen Absorbing Caps.

I wouldn't bother with the oxy caps. If you are only talking about aging for a few months, you aren't running any greater risk of oxidation with the regular caps.

When I bottle, I use the oxycaps, mostly because they don't add that much cost to a batch and they add some peace of mind. That said, I have some beers that are a couple of years old and were capped using regular caps, and they are fine. Just minimize splashing, and you'll be ok either way.
