Opening is just the same as opening commercial bottles

TBH it's not exactly a bother - I can lash through a batch of 40ish bottles in a few minutes with the two lever jobbie - fill 'em and put a cap on each, then once the batch is all in the bottles, crimp down the lot... But each to their own I suppose!

As for the pressure opening them - unless you go mad on the priming it'll be no more than you'd get in commercial bottles.
