When filling glass do the caps seal the same as the plastic jugs.

We are looking at other options for bottling because dealer prices are a bit steep compared to some of the distributors that have been mentioned on here. It is nice to have a local person though.

I have used the 8 oz bottles for two years now and yes they do seal very nicely. The ones I use have a tamper proof type of ring on the bottom of the cap, only goes on once, with the cap and will split off once the cap is removed. I buy them from Richards in Chardon.

Glass bottles cap better than plastic jugs they dont cross thread. Plus they dont look crooked when there done. In Wisconsin all bottles for retail have to have the safty ring plastic cap to prove it hasen't been tamperd with. I dont think they sell the shrink rings anymore.
