Red Oxygen Absorbing Bottle Caps (144) | 26mm Pry-Off Beer Lids These red oxygen absorbing bottle caps are standard 26mm pry-off crown caps for beer bottles, cider bottles, mead bottles, soda bottles, and other crown-finish bottles that use a normal beer bottle capper. Each pack includes 144 caps, enough for multiple bottling days or for keeping extra caps on hand. The oxygen-absorbing liner helps reduce oxygen exposure after capping, which is especially helpful for hop-forward beers, darker beers, bottle-conditioned batches, and any beverage you plan to store for more than a quick turnaround. These caps are still only one part of good packaging: minimize splashing, fill consistently, and cap promptly for the best results. Best Uses Standard 26mm pry-off beer bottles Homebrew beer, cider, mead, hard seltzer, soda, and bottle-conditioned beverages Color-coding different recipes, bottling dates, yeast tests, or competition entries Replacing mixed or leftover caps before bottling day Compatibility Notes Cap size: 26mm crown cap Bottle type: Standard pry-off crown-finish bottles Not for: Twist-off bottles, swing-top bottles, cork-finish wine bottles, or bottles that require 29mm crown caps Capper required: Use a compatible hand capper or bench capper Recommended Cappers Pair these caps with our Dual Lever Bottle Capper or Ferrari Deluxe Bench Top Bottle Capper. The dual lever capper is a good simple choice for most homebrew bottling days, while the bench capper is the smoother upgrade for frequent bottling or larger batches. Good Bottle Pairings Use these caps with crown-cap-ready bottles like our 12 oz amber beer bottles, 22 oz amber bomber bottles, or 500 mL amber crown-cap bottles. Always confirm your bottles are pry-off crown-finish bottles before capping. Color & Batch Organization The red finish is useful for color-coding batches, separating recipe versions, or matching a label theme. Other 26mm oxygen absorbing cap options include Black, Gold, Silver, White, American Flag, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Green. Storage Tip Store oxygen absorbing caps dry and sealed until bottling day. Avoid long soaking before use, since moisture can start activating the liner before the cap is on the bottle.
