Twist-off bottle caps?

Tue Aug 11, 2009 9:36 am

I accidentally bought twist-off bottle caps. Do these work on pry-off bottles? I tried a few on them and they seem to seal fine. It is possible with some effort to turn them, but I found this to be the case with non-twist off caps too. I'd like to bottle today so any quick advice is appreciated!

If you are not storing the beer for a long time then go for it! Otherwise I would not use them. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks, I guess I'll go with them then. Saves me a trip to the LHBS.
