Question about bottles

[llazy_llama]

I dont like them lint roller american ale bud bottles. Its got the bud stamp on the glass and it doesnt make my beer look unique. it looks like a bud, and thats sad, i threw mine out even after de-labeling. Its just a personal thing, i didnt want my beer to have anything to do with a BMC

I feel your pain. I have a few Michelob bottles that were donated by a kind, yet ultimately misguided friend. I'll use them if I run out of other bottles on hand, but they'll hide in the back of my fridge so I don't accidentaly give them out.

The Anchor labels just float away, and those are some cool bottles.

Sub-question: Are there any bottles that are notoriously thin or difficult to cap that I should avoid?

Bass Ale bottles.

They don't seal correctly. If your kit came with the red two handle capper as mine is it won't cap right.

The problem is the shape of the top of the bottle top. The Bass bottles have almost a double lip or something that there isn't room for the bottom of the cap to seat up snug under the top of the bottle. Other bottles have a longer flanged neck under the first ridge.

Hopefully these pics will show you what I mean.
