Can ring crown bottles be recapped?

Can ring crown (pull off) bottless such as these: be recapped using a table top or bench bottle capper?

EDIT: Just to be clear, I mean capping the bottle with regular caps like these, not not pull off caps.

EDIT2: I finally bought a capper and tried this. It worked!

In my experience yes they can, sometimes the top of the bottle can be strangely shaped and stop some cappers working but usually you are fine to recap with crowns for your home brew.


I doubt that it will work. The cap "tears" as you open it. But, as Herb said, give it a try!


Give it a try-- fill a bottle with water, put a cap on, flip it upside down, and see if any water drips out. If the cap makes a watertight seal, then the next time you're bottling fill a couple and see how they work out.
