Temperature comes into play as to how much carbonation the beer will hold (e.g. 12 psi at 40 degrees is 2.47 volumes, while 12 psi at 48 degrees is only 2.14 volumes). Rule of thumb for standard 3/16ID homebrew setups is 2 lbs pressure to 1 foot hose length.
Although some brewers still use corks, most seal their bottles with the familiar metal cap. A liner on the inside of the cap seals the bottle and the metal edges of the cap crimp around the lip of the bottle to hold it in place and maintain the seal. A well-sealed bottle protects beer from oxygen well and for a long time. Most beer bottles are made of brown, green or clear glass.
