Don't do it! The twist off bottles are too weak for reuse. Only use the pop top variety. Too weak? No way. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.

I find some of the megaswill bottles, VB etc don't work, but who'd buy them anyway Try to use the same brand bottle with the same brand lid but I've even used coopers bottles with boags lids sometimes with success.
When I'm trying a new brand I test a couple of bottles at the end of a batch done with bottles I know work so that way I'm not risking a whole batch. I find this much easier than a capper, the only equipment required is a tea towel. As an inherent tight arse I do love reading some of the stuff that comes out in these posts Twist tops, crown tops - makes no difference and its easy as and very safe to put the caps on. Sanitizing lids? Who the heck could be bothered including that amongst everything else you have to do when bottling.
Braumoasta Well-Known Member. Was just about to post asking about bottles when I stumbled across this thread.. Was thinking of getting some grolsch style bottles but they looked pretty dear.. I get through plenty of twist-tops and didnt realise you can just screw them back on to seal.. J Grimmer Well-Known Member. I have always found that using a bench capper a you get a tight seal on either twist top of crown seals and would highly reconmend them to any one home brewing, I have never reused lids as i figure the price they come for its not worth my time to clean sterilase and re use.
Yob Hop to it. Report Back Time:- Have bottled 2 batches of beer using the twist top bottles amber ml Cascade. I Used a mix of cleaned recycled caps and new crown seal caps. The recycled twist caps are screwed on and then tightened with a tea towel, I then give them a go with the bench capper just to be sure. The new crown seals just get the bench capper. Happy to say all are sealed well so far.
Hope this info. Camo Well-Known Member. When you cap them with crown seals do they twist off or do you still pop them off? Silly question I know but I can't picture if they can then twist off or not? You must log in or register to reply here.

Quote from: MDixon on December 23, , pm. I've heard they work if you have a floor capper. The 2 handle clam shell type capper I have will shatter the necks every time.
Where the heck are we going? And what's with this hand basket? I used to use leftover Shipyard bottles, which have the threads on them. Figured it wasn't worth the bother so I recycled them. If it was me, I wouldn't bother. Put too much work, and money, in to the beer to risk it. I just ran across one yesterday that got mixed in with my last batch.
