Well, i'm still enthusiastic that I can build something bigger and better than that crappy plastic thing that wont last the ages.
Way I see it, even if this thing costs me £200, if it lasts me a lifetime of brewing and bottling it's money well spent
So tonight i'm off to Wickes again to grab a length of 15mm copper pipe. This will be crimped at the end, so shouldn't foul on the bottle neck
I thought about how i could enlarge the end of the 10mm pipe to give a tighter fit inside the 15mm so it doesn't leak and forces the 15mm pipe to slide up the 10mm, so it touches the base of any bottle size. My conclusion was a compression ring
it's overall dimension is about 14mm. I'll glue this on with my glue gun :)
more experiments and pictures to follow later tonight :party:
