Are these yours?

:lol:

:rofl: The pot is big, but it's not THAT big!

HA! Porter bottled!

Only one more mishap, the first "capper takes neck off bottle" incident in 20 odd brews.

...just a bitter to bottle but I'm not too bothered as I've now got enough free FVs... :thumb:

Wooft, never had that happen. I am always a bit cautious with mine, after capping i kinda need to yank to bottle to free it from the capper...is that normal?

 

[calumscott]

What kind of capper do you use?

I dread the day i destroy a bottle with the capper. I use a bench capper and have to yank the bottle out afterwards. Feels very risky.

Mine get stuck as well but I find if I hold the neck of the bottle with three fingers, wrap my index finger around the actual capper and then pull upwards and towards me with the lower three fingers the bottle pops out under control :ugeek:

Put Vaseline in the capping bit of the bench capper, the bottles come out a lot easier.

I just use a bench capper, adjustable height etc...

Will try the vaseline thing, cheers
