quick bottle question

[Irish1225]

when bottling in glass, is it alright to use threaded bottles?

 

[Parker36]

It is better not to reuse twist top bottles. it is possible, but more difficult and if you don't get the seal JUST right, you won't get carbonation.

Try to build up a supply of pry top bottles, and use the twistoffs only in an emergency if you can

Yes, although this matter is largely one of preference and habits long-formed.

I agree with Parker, and will make one suggestion. In each batch do one or two bottles in the threaded bottles. This way you can see how it works for you while endangering only a small fraction of your beer babies.

If you don't have a bench capper, then you'll find that it is better to use non twist off bottles. Some people who have tried with their standard wing capper have broken the bottles.
