Title: Bottle Cap sizem: 26mm or 29mm? A newbie question
Post by: RFog on May 18, 2020, 10:34:54 AM
Hi there!

Looking to get my first brew on the go with the BrewDog Punk IPA kit.

Got all my bits ordered bar making sure I've picked the right bottlecap size. I'm planning on re-using 500ml 'Crafty Brew Co." bottles (pre washed and sanitized, or course) from Lidl and was pretty sure that they're 26mm, but was hoping someone could confirm?

Thanks for the help,

Rory

26mm are the standard cap. The larger ones fit on to heavy duty bottles used for making highly carbonated beers
