Good capper

My bottle capper has a habit of ripping the top off some bottles. It mostly happens with American and German bottles, where the distance between the top and the ridge are smaller than British ones.

Re: Cheap CO2

One of the places I called was offering bottles smaller than 14lb. It might have been Bablake, White's or Bristol Gas.

Re: Crusader kegs

I saw a great post on building a semi-auto keg washer a few months ago on a forum. It used a modified sankey connector, a pump and a couple of tanks for cleaner and sanitiser. If enough people switched to kegs perhaps it would be worthwhile building one as a group? I went to see Tim's setup a little...
