Belgian bottles than can be capped?

Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:44 pm

I have a Belgian Dubbel that I forced carbonated to around 3.5 volumes. I figure I should use a heavier bottle, but I want to cap them and not cork them. I was told you can only cork the belgian 750 bottles. Anyone know of any heavy wall 22oz/750ml bottles that can be capped?

I've had good luck capping high carb beers in a standard bottle. Give it a try. The beer will spew out upon un-capping before the bottle blows up...

But also try looking for thicker bottles. Samuel Smith uses very thick bottles. You can also put a cap on many Champagne bottles.
