Just looking for a little information

I have been saving the glass bottles. How hard is it to cap these bottles off? Or am I better off buying the corkscrew tops that twist on?....

Save the twist off's for your MadDog 20/20 clones. Your local homebrew store (LHBS) sells crown caps and a capper. Easy peasy.

LoL. Oh god. Ya, now I will never be able to cork cap without that image burning in the back of my mind.

How much is the caper going to run me?

[rhino777]

About $3 per bottle

[Dmp]

Mmmm. I loves me some capers.

Hey Chris,

I'm totally with you.

Everyday I'm making progress.

But I do have some "problem areas" or "walls" that I must prevail over. Which is what this thread is all about. pouring my beer into another glass isn't going to impress the guys while we are out drinking and Vegas. Yes, this may seem like a invalid argument, but it is a real concern that I am having. And That's what started this problem...How do I avoid the issue of yeast residues at the bottom of the bottle, but still produce sufficient CO2?
...Or in other words how to get carbonation in the bottle (without injecting co2), but also be able to drink the beer out of the bottle...

...Must be impossible.

A capper isn't too expensive. I think you can get a cheap one for about $20 or so. And until you're kegging and then filling your bottles from the keg you're probably going to have to deal with the sediment on the bottom. Lots of commercial beers that are bottle-conditioned have the sediment as well and you've just gotta either drink it or use a glass.
