What's Facebook?
You know, I've been on Facebook for 8 years now and hbtalk for 2.5. I've definitely put more time and content into this site than Facebook.

What's wrong with twist offs? I prefer them. As long as you invest in a bench capper, they're better than non-twist offs IMO. I've bottled thousands of twist off bottles without a single problem.
As someone with a bench capper I get why they're not much of a problem, but why exactly do you think they're "better"?

I don't like Facebook. I just recently made an account, though, because it seems like so many companies are using it to post the most up to date information. The kind of stuff they don't update constantly on their websites. I got tired of it and joined only for that purpose. I didn't even use my actual name.
I have the capper with the two handles that sits on top of the bottle. The handles won't go though a complete motion on a twist off. If I don't apply enough pressure, the bottle won't seal. If I apply to much I've got broken glass all over, ruined brew, and possibly cuts.I suppose "better" was the wrong choice of words. They're equal to would be more accurate I suppose. What I should have said is that I prefer them, because I like twisting off the tops as opposed to prying them off. It's more convenient. However, it's a moot point since I started using easy-cap Grolsch style bottles anyway. I just think a lot of Homebrewers have an irrational fear of twist-offs. They're like the muslims of the beer world! haha

...and your first thought is that it sounds like a new crystal malt.
You know your a homebrewer and that you have a problem when you have 214 bottles of beer 7 corny kegs full ready to serve/bottle 40 gallons more fermenting away and you still plan to brew on saturday
You have Sierra from the 90s there? Maybe it hasn't been 15 years, but it's been years since Sierra stopped using twist offs. It took me years to quit trying to twist off the pry caps when they switched.
