Those fail before anything else in my experience, and if you bought your bottles wholesale, it's possible you got some junky fasteners that just won't hold the pressure. All my own bottles are real Grolsch bottles that once held real beer, so I know they work. I haven't changed the gaskets in over 10 years and they all still hold pressure no problem. Over the years I think I had 2 leakers out of many hundreds or maybe thousands bottled. I have a few of the larger wine bottle size as well but to be honest I have not used them much yet. | |

I tried changing-out the gaskets for new ones (even though the originals were new), but it just didn't help. Tried lubrication too. Maybe it was the bottles. | |
