Bottle types?

Nov 11, 2003 1 Replies

All, I am thinking about doing some bottling using the EZ Cap bottles (Swing Tops) I normally just do standard capping. Any Pros and Cons to using swing-tops? I know the gaskets need replaced after time, but how many brews can I get out of one gasket? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks, JB


I've done some bottling with 'em, back in the stone age when the tops were actually ceramic :) - I got about 5-6 solid uses from the gaskets, but then again, I didn't take the best care of them. I suppose washing them quickly, drying them by hand and storing them in a not-so-dry place would extend the life. YMMV.

Happy Brewing!

Bob
