I have saved some Stella Artois bottles to use for at least some of a new batch I am staging to bottle. I typically keg or use Grolsch stopper bottles but a bit short for a full batch.
I have a wing capper from Northern Brewers. For the life of me, I cannot get the Stella bottle to cap properly. Thank goodness I had presence of mind to do a capping test before bottling day. It seems the capper jaws doesn't have much of any kind of "structure" to bite down on for a good cap crimp.
Am I doing anything wrong? I almost always keg, sometimes use Grolsch bottles, but RARELY bottle.
