you may find that crown caps are a bad fit on some bottles like that, we binned a load as the caps didnt fit

Bargain for a pound, i've been collecting Badger bottles as i quite like Tangle foot. The labels come off good too and not had a prob capping them :

I did the same, but have started trying to swap them all out for brown bottles now to avoid the light affecting the beer.

Yeah that's the only down side to clear bottles, but i like the fact that i can pour my beer while keeping an eye on the sedement. I keep a sheet draped over my crates so the light doesn't get at them :

Well the beer inside these bottles was pretty good for a quid!

I've capped those fine, but I use a bench capper. The lever cappers don't work for all bottles (e.g. hobgoblin).

I've successfully lever capped Wychwood bottles but I admit they are more difficult.

we tried capping them with a crown corker unsuccessfully the caps just didnt fit right but maybe with another capping method might work
