ok stupid question time, can you use the screw off top type bottles and crimp them or only the pry off type of bottles? Thinking of trying beer for the first time and collecting up bottles, just wondering if both kinds will work or just the pry off type of bottles
Thanks

Screw caps should NOT be capped. They should not be rescrewed either. The necks are to weak for the capper. Get some "long necks".

alrighty, kinda figured that but wanted to make sure. Well nowI have an excuse to buy better beer, you know, since they have the pry off tops

I use only Sam Adams, and Sierra Nevada bottles.. I tried Amstel and Heineken bottles and can say for sure they are no good.. I prefer the Sierra Nevada bottles because they fit on the bottom shelf of the fridge better, and they make one heck of a beer!! BTW, my LHBS wants13.99 for a case of 12 oz bottles empty, and I can get a case of SN for 22.99 full.. That makes the case of beer only 9.00!!
