It looks like Iv'e done exactly the same. Should have realised straight away really. I thought I would try tightening the caps today and guess what? Yea, I managed to tighten about thirty caps about 1/4 of a turn. One cap was tight, poured that one and there was a small fizz. No head at all but a few bubbles rising. It tastes bleeding lovely! Cap was probably just a little bit loose.
Right, the clue to this problem is the anti-tamper seal on the Coopers PET caps. When I tried the first bottle that was flat, the seal came away attached to the cap. Should have stayed on the bottle.
Oh well, live and learn
Been there, done that...
...in fact, I nearly did the other trick with these too. I pick the seal from the roof of the cap out when reusing the bottles to make sure I sterilise and rinse properly. I forgot to put a load back in and wondered why the bottles hissed a bit when I picked them up!
Just re prime them, seal them, give them another two weeks warm and see how you go. :thumb:
