First, are you using pop tops or twist tops? Twist tops are notorious for cracking/weakening when capping them with a capper. Just because it didn’t break when you capped them, doesn’t mean they’re not borked.

If you’re using pop top bottles, look into getting new ones. Most craft breweries use good quality pop tops so you can reuse, or you can order new bottles from your local homebrew supply store or the internet.

Sounds like poor quality bottles. I usually reuse Sam Adams bottles and havent had one break yet
