Will the seal on used screw off top beer bottles?

I have not tried, but the general consensus from my other brewing friends is that trying to seal a cap on a screw off beer bottle generally doesn't go well. It'll let air in and you'll end up not carbonating/risking infection.

I have not attempted, but I have always heard no, you cannot use screw top bottles

I've not tried. I don't think it would make a proper seal. I use them on gallon glass jugs and half gallon.

Hello. The Scott decanter top does not have a seal on it. The fit is snug and tight. Generally the liquid will not lose any flavor or alcohol especially in a 750 ml. I have assorted whiskeys in 2 bottles and have gone up to a month without drinking any and there is little discernible difference.

No, it will not. But I wouldn't want to trust any such sealing system anyway - what a mess if it leaked! There are other wine coolers I've seen, though, that have provision for one or two stand-up (resealed) bottles.

I would say no as the bottle and base are threaded with quite a thick thread and that needs to create a good seal however I guess you could try if your bottle has a thread ...but mind you dont strip the thread and shatter the plastic base!! and you will need to creat a hanging mechanism as that is part of the bottle

Yes they are, and I have found this to be a good thing sense the swing tops on my bottles are a little worn and looser with age. The thicker gaskets make up the difference and now my bottles seal like brand new.

Yes. And, what Mr. Bohlman said. Check the coupler for play and replace if necessary. Might as well replace the seal there too. There's a simple tool for installing the seal.

It "kind of" works with screw top bottles. The neck on a screw top is a little larger diameter than a corked bottle. The stopper does fit into the screw top neck, but it's not that snug of a fit.

It will fit your five gallon bottles just fine. They are a little hard to get the edge off but seem to seal the bottle just fine. I am not sure they will work with screw top bottles. I know the little hand pump we bought does not work with screw tops at all.

You can provided the lids will stay securely shut. IE grolsch style lids not the screw tops. When you do your bottling you'll add some extra sugar to the beer which will cause the yeast to produce CO2 to carbonate the beer in the bottles. If the lids are not sealed or can't handle the extra pressure from the carbonation process then you'll have flat beer and a mess if one of the tops pop.

I use the bottles for bottling infused olive oil and my annual batch of limoncello. The bottles seal nicely. I change gaskets every time I bottle. However, I don't believe that they would seal to keep/store carbonated drinks.

You need proper grolsch bottles with the dent. Normal beer bottles have nowhere for the cap to hook onto.

You will need bottles with the indentations for swing-top caps. Regular beer bottles won't work.

Hi Kay, I just went and shoved one in a beer bottle. It fits in with about 1/2 inch sticking out the top. I'm not sure what you are planning on using these for. But they are very tapered, so they wouldn't seal something completely for long term. I used them for making decorative wine bottle stoppers. The kind you us for the short term after opening a bottle of wine. They worked great for that. Regards, Shelley

Yes it seals the bottle very well. It is such a tight seal, that it's a little tough getting it off. Hope that helps.

I used a similar waxless seal...be sure to follow directions on the packaging.

No. The caps slide into holes made for special bottles. They won't work on just any bottle.
