Best Answer To Beer Wine Spirits Question
You can't get a good enough seal with those twist top caps. You have to use new caps and non-twist top bottles.

Answer 1You can't get a good enough seal with those twist top caps. You have to use new caps and non-twist top bottles.
Answer 2What do you mean, you should have hit them a lot harder. Crown seals are used to cap beer bottles, but you use a capper that has a lever system on it to press the cap over the top of the bottle. YOU CAN NOT HAMMER THESE TOPS ON. A capper is usually made of metal, with a base that is screwed to a small wood platform. it looks like a ratchet car jack about 1 foot high, but working the lever pulls it down..on one side is a upside down cup , just big enough to form the crown cap over the top of the bottle. You press down on the lever of the capper, the cap is pressed onto the bottle top the plastic liner of the crown cap seals the bottle so the beer won't go flat.
Answer 3Your using the kind of capper you have to pound, I have heard of these but never used them. You should get a new one they are inexpensive and if you live near a flea market you can get them even cheaper. I have both the butterfly type and the table top lever type. I also might suggest giving your brew a little more time. My first couple batches did not carbonate for over a month. It may also be possible that you did not add enough priming sugar, I also had a batch were the priming sugar did not distribute thoughly resulting in bottles that did not carbonate and some that were very cabonated. Keep in mind that bottling at home can be very upredictable and has to be done exactly right in order for good results. you also might want to check the temp were you are storing your beer, this time of year were I live the lower temp really slows the yeast productivity. Anyway I have given up bottling and never looked back and highly recommend kegging if you are serious about brewing and have the cash for the setup. the only (I mean only) draw back is that it will be difficult to bottle beer for friends and family
Answer 4the caps for twist tops are thinner metal so they seal better. Buy the twist off caps from somebody online. I used to carry them at my homebrew store but they never sold.
