Redhook bottles

[wilsojos]

I'm out of town and stopped to get a six pack. I got redhook with the snub nose bottles. Has anyone tried to cap them? Wasn't sure if the double lever capper would work on the short neck.

Works great. I use them quite a bit.

Yeah, I've used them a lot too and they work great. Something about the shorter bottles that are nice. The labels come off fairly easy too.

If in doubt try to cap a few after you drink them,that way you on bottling day your not finding out the hard way.

I used Redhook stubbies exclusively for the last 3 batches. Not a single problem with capping. Overnight soak in oxyclean and the labels fall off right in the water (pretty much the same with any bottle). I've been warned that the short neck is not a conducive to a controlled pour to keep yeast sediment in the bottle but I've not experienced any problem there either. Fun bottles, big hit with friends.

I actually like these bottles slightly better than Sierra Nevada bottles, mainly just because the labels come off easier.

I have several cases of these. They work great, as mentioned the labels come off easy. Oxiclean is what I use.
