bottle topper

[BrentonP1525228379]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am Brenton from Brisbane. I got my Home Brew kit for my birthday a couple of weeks ago and have so far made the Lager that comes with it (tasted that last night) and currently have a sparkling ale in the FV(day or two till it will be close to bottle time!)

 

My question, is as I am going to need to have a few conditioning at once, I am going to need a good way to put some caps on the tallies I have saved up. Any ideas on something effective/cheap that will make this process easy for me?

 

Cheers,

 

Brenton.

Welcome Brenton,

 

I suggest that you buy a bench capper, you can get them on Ebay.

 

Cheers,

Yes, the only way out if you have glass is to buy one and there are a few cheap cappers on EvilBay. If you got the DIY kit then just use the PET bottles that come with it. Alternatively if you can't afford a capper, you can get the PET bottles for around $1 each.

Wing cappers are cheaper,if that's an issue. They're about15-18 dollars here,some around $12. Also,the oxygen absorbing caps may help retain aroma/flavors in the bottle longer. I'm going to experiment with that on my current batch. I'll report back on that in a few weeks to a month.

Welcome Brenton.

 

I picked up my bench capper for $25 at K Mart when they sold homebrew supplies. I know BigW sells them but I couldn't tell you the price.

 

Caps are pretty cheap this way. I buy around 100 for $2.50 at BigW
