Hi there. Bottled my first 5 gal batch today, and have a couple of questions. Recently retired, and for something to do bought a BB kit. I'm using one of there Scottish Ale kits, 1 wk in bucket with last 2 wks in glass carboy. I've been a stickler on cleaning and sanatizing as i go along. Anyways started to bottle and got to #8 when my new capper decided to become 2 pcs. Luckily I have an old bench mounted one from the 50's or so that i was able to put to use. I checked the caps as I went along, and every once in a while one wouldn't be tight, you could turn it but it took some effort. I sat those aside and when finished bottleing rechecked and some had sealed, and the loose ones got recapped. Is this a common problem when capping? Will be getting a new capper this week, as i have 2 more kits and glass carboys waiting. Think I'm SOL on this? Thanks, Al
