Side by Side Comparison of: Midwest Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies vs RiteBrew

This accessory is to be used with your Red Baron bottle capper. With it you will be able to cap 26 and 29 mm bottles.

This Product works exactly as described. It fits on my red capper no problem.

it preformed as expected

No complaints about the product- bought to fit the "Red Baron" bottle capper. Fits great, gets the job done. I bought from Midwest, no complaints about them either, except the shipping on the item is three times the amount of the product. It's not THAT heavy.

great to re-paint(colour-code)

Work great. Even worked with a few twist offs that I tried it on.

exactly what you need, make sure you order with the air seal, or you wont be happy :)

I bought these bottle caps for a school project. The price was amazing for the item we got. The caps were perfect for arts and crafts. The caps are standard size. The inside of the cap is coated in the waxy material and the outside is just a smooth silver. For our project, we had to spray paint both the outside and inside. The cap held standard paint just find and the caps were just perfect.

Since flip top bottles are expensive and recycling is cheap, I bought a capper to support my home brew hobby. These caps are very good. I have not had a bad bottle so far while sealing my malted repast with the use of these caps. The gold color contrasts well with a black magic marker, which I use to identify my various brews. I'm pleased with my purchase

I use these in crafts and am very pleased with this product.GREAT PRICE: Considering that some bottlecaps in the craft stores are selling for more than $3 for just 12 pieces, these are a great value at about 5 cents a piece.DETAILS: These caps are gold-toned (not bright, sort of antique gold) on the outside and sort of silver color on the inside. There is a liner on the inside which is relatively easy to remove by running an embossing tool around the edges then picking it up a bit and peeling it off, then just scraping off any leftover pieces. These are not flimsy. Inside diameter is 1".STUFF I'VE DONE WITH THEM OR PLAN TO DO: If you don't care for the color, you can always paint them with acrylic paint, sharpies or alcohol inks. You can flatten them pretty easily...either with a rubber mallet (a bit noisy) or by running them through a cuttlebug (FUN and FAST!). Easily able to poke holes in them with an awl or crop-a-dile.I would definitely order these again:)

They work. Seal properly.

Its a cap. It works every time.

works fine

Great for bottlecap necklace crafts.

I have had no problems with capping, sealing, or uncapping. These seem just fine to me. Take a sharpie w no resistance. So, brew, then buy these.

My husband has recently gotten into the joy of brewing craft beer. I bought him these bottle caps and a bottle capping tool for Christmas as a gift from the kids. They worked great with no leaks. These were placed on his first batch of beer, which received compliments all around.

The picture makes them look more gold than they actually are. They are the standard "greenish gold" caps that come in a prepackaged box brewing kit. Wish the photo relayed the color better

Package was missing 20 caps, but still worth the price

Works great to seal my beer bottles, kinda pricy though. But gets the job done when I am back sweeting to make fizzy cider and beer

These caps were as functional as it gets. None the less I seem to have found 1 not gold cap in the bag! I cant tell if the beer that got the cap is lucky or a maleficent omen.

These bottle caps are suitable for the home brewer. They do not, however, successfully seal bottles with twist-off type rims.

Not sure what else you could put in a review about bottle caps, but one thing I did find was that a lot of the caps were not clean. They had some weird sticky paste on the inside of the cap that just looked gross.You should be cleaning your caps anyway, but it seemed lazy of the company to not send clean caps to begin with.

Sanitized this product and had some of the rubber seals fall outta the cap. Used 55 to cap 48 bottles

I've not used these in two years. I didn't realize you would need a machine to put them on.

The product is beaten and deformed. The bottles caps are held inside.

So recently I made a trip to my local home brew shop and bought one of these. They told me they got theirs from China, when I brought it back because of issues. I bought this one since it said Red Barron Capper (which I have) and I was hoping this was made from the original manufacturer. It looks like the same one I got from my home brew shop with a horizontal seam (from the mold it was cast in) which doesn't appear in the picture listed here. (I'm guessing this is the stock one the capper comes with) Also, the bell looks straight for a longer portion (in the middle) of the cap and the bottom seam (opposite the threading) doesn't sit flush like it does with the stock one. Both the one I got from my home brew shop and the one I bought here have these issues/features.

So with the standard size bell housing, the base of the bell can compress against the top of the lip of the bottle. Then when you're done it slides off fairly easily. With this housing, the cap gets too tight too quickly. If you press it down all the way, the bottle (cap and all) tend to get stuck in the bell housing. So why not try to just go half way? Because I'm not sure if the cap is properly sealed at that depth and I lost carb on a few bottles that way.

So when I brought this up at my home brew shop I had to go through about 10 to find one that didn't get stuck as often, sadly I can't do this online.I reuse bottles from the Bruery, who import them from Germany. I had the thought that maybe it's just my bottles, but I tested this on a Belgium bottle of Stella Artois (Bottled in Belguim) and had the same issue. So two European bottles from two sources with both the same issue. ::sigh::

It's also probably not worth trying to ship back for a return since shipping cost me just as much as the actual product. Bottom line this bell housing isn't from Red Barron, it just fits their product (but not the bottles).

One in five didn't seal well. I am tossing the remainder in the trash,

I bought these to save a little money for my Kombucha making. Are these even real? I made a case and 23 out of 24 didn't seal. I had to open them all a week later an recap. What a waste.

These didn't seal properly and ruined two batches of beer; $150 down the drain.

The bottle caps themselves are sturdy and nice. The review is more intended on the service; I had ordered two sets of gold crown bottle caps but I received one gold and one green set of bottle caps! I had realized the mistake after I had used the right set of gold caps and reached in for the second bag! i was in a time crunch due to using the bottle caps for a cooler for my formal date the next day and ended up not using any bottle caps for decoration. Very disappointed!

I bought these caps in the hopes of using them to cap my recent batch of beer. What I ended up getting were caps that are nice and shiney but have no use on my bottles. I had to make a rushed trip around town to find bottles with the lever tops so my beer wouldn't be lost. They look just like the real thing but when it came down to putting them on my bottles and crimping them they don't hold up. out of 34 bottles of beer I used 67 caps, that's nearly twice what it should have been. The ones that did end up taking caps didn't hold the pressure of carbonation. They didn't explode but instead leaked so I had nearly flat beer in a few bottles. Moral of the story: Scrapbooking/Crafts a pretty good deal for nice looking caps, Home brewer: Highly not recommended.
