I have common beer bottles around the house that I want to use for my Kefir, can I use this tops for the bottles or I need bottles with the small dent

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

You need bottles with the holes on either side of the rim so the wires can hook into. Plain beer bottles will not work
1523846
Yes, to use these bottle tops the bottles must be manufactured with the small dents since that area of the bottle is reinforced for that purpose

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

If there is not an indention on the sides of the top of the bottle, they won't work. You can use bottle caps and a capping gadget.

No, they are designed specifically for flip top bottles, most common in the states is a grolsche beer, look at a EZ capper relatively inexpensive and comes with caps

These bottles are very thin walled. The color comes off pretty easy and they dent incredibly easy. I used hose clamps to secure two of them onto a rack on a dirt bike to carry fuel. They got the job done but are pretty beat up. If you're using them as water bottles in a backpack they will probably work perfect for that. I see my post is conflicting with the other post; so I'd like to add this edit. They are good bottles the coating seems strong, just depends on what you use them for.

Sorry we don't have any hard liquor bottles in the house but I imagine you could. Why not measure your bottles to seem if they have the same diameters

Good Question. Most of the corks that come out of my Belgian beer bottles flare out at the bottom which makes putting them back in very difficult. I could shave them down, but that is a messy hassle. I've been able to find bottle stoppers at my local liquor stores (and some at the dollar store!) that seal and work great. These have a lever on top that you push down to seal. Search Amazon for "bottle stopper" and look for the ones with levers on top. Best of luck!

Enough caps to fill 5 gal worth of 12 oz bottles so you will be fine for one bottling session, i just save my 22oz bombers from beer i have drank when i bottle instead of keg as it cuts cleaning time and bottling time in half. My ABV i believe was 5.4- 5.8

I'd say its best used as a growler filler or some swing top bottles in a pinch. Not saying you can't fill bottles smaller bottles with it, but with a beer gun you have better controll. The size of the tubing makes filling regular 12oz bottles tough without spraying beer everywhere. If you looking to fill bottles from the keg for competitions the beer gun is the way to go. If you just want to bottle some up to take over to the neighbors this product works great for growler and swing top bottles.

I suppose you can put other bottles on top as long as you are careful and you don't have a cat that will jump on top and knock them off. :)

A 22oz Bomber bottle has the same sized opening as a 12 ounce bottle. So it would fit and it would chill the beer. However, most homebrewers don't drink their beer from the bottle, because of the yeast in the bottle. Some people who keg, transfer their beer to bottles for various reasons, and those will have very little to no sediment. So I would check their process before buying them something they wouldn't use.

I haven't thought about it being used with beer before. The twist top fitting is designed specifically for water bottles. It is air tight. Granted I haven't been around a keg in a while so I can't say about the fittings. But if what you have or can adapt to a general five-gallon water bottle fitting, then I don't see why not.

Yes you need a crown cap tool. If you have not purchased an equipment kit you should. It will have the tools you need to ferment and bottle the beer. You'll probably need some sanitizer too.Enjoy !

Negative.. you'll have to buy them separate. They're not very expensive fortunately. After I bought these I had a friend ask why I didn't just buy a few 6 packs of NON-twist off beer and save the bottles. I hadn't thought of that, but it makes more sense than paying for empty bottles. You can recap the store bought bottles just as easily.

Hi, I've only used this on liquor bottles and ones for oil/vin. They are cheap enough that you can find a use for them if it turns out not to fit a beer bottle.

Can you? With a big hole saw bit, probably. But I don't know how these will hold up and seal against a thin metal lid like that. These are designed for sealing glass carboys. They're not as soft as some others but make a good seal against glass in my experience. The softer ones I've used have popped out during primary fermentation.

I love these stoppers for bottles like gallon milk or wine jugs, or large juice bottles. Seems to me you could drill using any drill or cutter whose diameter doesn't exceed the big end of the stopper. However I fear the thin hole edge might damage the stopper with use. Instead, for veggies I would use mason jar fermentation lids available here on Amazon. These stoppers can be used with them if need be, but those lids often come as complete kits.

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
