The problem is. From what I know about beer making. After you
transfer fermented wort inot a bottle with a EZ Cap you will have
a problem. Don't the EZ caps allow gases to escape? If so how are
you going to carbonate your beer in a bottle with the EZ cap on it.
In order to carbonate carbon dioxide gases need to remain in the
bottle.
