To my distress I noticed that my martinelli's bottles were not holding
carbonation ... which I realize is my own fault in using incorrect cap
and/or capper sizing. I'm wondering if anyone else has used martinelli's
bottles and how they capped them (or did you cork? if so, what size cork?)
I originally capped mine with 29mm caps using a hand capper with both the
bell and the plates for 29mm. Seemed like the best fit at the time. This
was obviously a mistake. I have since re-capped them with 26mm (beer
bottle) crown caps using a 26mm bell and 29mm plate size. I think this is a
tighter fit. What size of crowns and equipment has anyone else used
successfully?
Thanks
Aaron
