Wire Bales for Flip Tops

The best ingredients and support, thank you Northern Brewer!

I purchased 20-oz. flip-top bottles on Amazon. None of them held their carbonation for bottle conditioning. After comparing those wire bales with others, they were longer and thus did not form as tight of a seal. I tried modifying them and that did not work. Purchased these to replace them and, being slightly shorter in length, they hold a much tighter seal and have successfully allowed bottle-conditioning to take place. the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the red seal is more of a ring than a full button-type. So, i just swapped out the new red seal for the ones on the wire bales I was getting rid of. Works like a charm!

The bales work good on the bottles that I purchased online, however, they do not fit well on the flip top bottles from Germany.

Caps came in, look great. Seals are good, no cracks, can’t wait to bottle.

Had some old Fischer 22 oz bottles that needed new gaskets. The gaskets were glued on, so I just replaced the bales. Worked great.
