Recycling crown caps

[Cellar_Rat]

Does anyone use them again?

[Rich]

No. Why take the risk with something not very expensive like that?

But, depends how you're taking them off? mine usually have a crease down the middle.

When I was a kid we used them as checkers.

Spot on - this is what started me thinking - they are coming off almost perfect.

Some small pet bottles from lemonade etc would work too.

Do you think paper bottles would take the priming pressure then ?

For what I am about to say please forgive me! Karl.

Crown caps recycle very well indeed. If any thing it's quicker than using new ones.

Wash/ sterilise, pop onto the beer bottle. Cap as normal. Banana shaped ones get straightened. No leaks. Not one in 45 bottles.
