Question about beer bottles

[AFW]

Wife wanted to make a Cider and my question is can you use screw top bottles with a capper and caps? Thinking of using Yuenggling screw tops.

Leaning towards a no but unsure.

No. The crown caps will not seal over threads.

Also, the neck of screw cap bottles is not strong enough to handle capping. The likelihood of breaking the glass is high.

Similar to corkable wine bottles, crown capped beer bottles have reinforced necks to handle the stress.

Thanks Brian. I will get the brown beer bottles and caps and capper.

Glad to help.

I bottle Kombucha in Molsens bottles, which are green those work well.
