I'm a few days off bottling my latest brew thats been sitting in the fermenter for 2 weeks now and i've decided to start using glass bottles. I went out and bought the safeway standard bottle tops. I had a bit of a practice this afternoon with putting the bottle caps on the bottles but i'm finding that when i do so the glass around the top cracks or chips. Im just using a standard bottle capper, its a few years old but its bearly been used and i'm only applying enough pressure so that the lid properly seals the bottles.
Any idea why this is happening???
Anyone aware of any tricks to stop this occuring???
Is there any other easy way of getting the caps on without using a capper???
