I bought a dozen flip top pints from the LHBS, and when I opened the first few, they were flat. I went back to the LHBS to ask them if they had any ideas, and since the other bottles I used (re-used Grolsch flip tops) for the same batch were good, they gave me some carb tabs and some new gaskets. I put in the new gaskets and added 2 carb tabs per bottle, and I just opened two of these and they are still flat!
There is sediment on the bottom, so I think the gaskets are still leaking. The last thing I think I'm gonna try is to make my own gaskets from some silicone gasket material from work.
Any other ideas or things that I missed? Why are these bottles still leaking?
