So I have the red Emily Crown capper that describes itself as 26mm/29mm but Im finding it wont crimp the 29mm caps onto these 29mm champagne bottles Im soon to be bottling. Is it supposed to have a separate crimping cup or is it a 1 size fits all deal?
I can get it to just about very loosely pinch them on - something Im sure wouldn't survive the pressure from bottle conditioning.
Any advice? Or does anyone have a link to a 29mm crown capper they know works?

There is a seperate bell, and you have to swap plates around. I have no issue with mine and 29mm
 
You generally just get the 26mm bell supplied with the 2 lever or bench cappers so you have to but the 29mm bell separately. I got a 29mm bell from Brew UK but waited until I was buying other stuff as I wasn't paying postage on a tiny item :tongue:
