I gotcha.
But I gotta disagree. They're cheaper to brew. They're ready faster. Brew day is (marginally) shorter. And you can pound em down all night, especially when you go sub 3.5%.
To each their own I guess. I find myself brewing less and less big beers because I don't think they're worth it.
I love me a mild. I just don't choose to brew anything that low in alcohol. I like to drink beer because it tastes good. And I get a good buzz from it as a consolation prize. In order for a Mild to do that to me, I'd have to drink 56 of them. And I'd be full/stuffed by the time I even get there.
I used my bench capper - I wedged down tight and I had to tug on the bottle to get it out of the bell. I did a test first and it seemed to be on
Mine is a standard capper. It doesn't get down enough to the point where I think the cap is on properly. It looks like it is, but I'm just not sure if it will
hold pressure. And to think if I bottle one of my sours using 5 jester king bottles, I'd waste all of that beer if the cap doesn't hold pressure.
