Are the coopers seals any good?? Do they do twist tops as well? They dont seem as good as the ones from the HB store. Any thoughts?
Thanx and happy brewing :D

They are fine on twist-tops as far as I'm concerned.

Yep, they are fine for twist tops, I use the coopers brand crown seals haven't had a problem with them. Certainly better than other brands I have used in the past (which I couldn't recall now, but they were a fairly poor brand)

Yeah they work fine, don't expect to be able to twist them off tho. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. That's what a bottle opener is for I guess :)

Really? I use a bench capper and never have a problem (I use quite a few Coopers stubbies).

So you mean you can twist them off? Maybe I'm just weak. :oops:

I've had one or two twist top bottles break on me when I'm opening them after re-capping (using a proper bench capper). Otherwise no problems.

Yep, they twist off as easily as the bought stuff.

Well, I do use a tea towel from time to time but everyone does right? :oops:
