Let me introduce you to Cappadonna, my bargain beer bottle capper. Name in honor of my wife Donna and the famous member of the Wu Tang Clan himself:
I found it on Gumtree on Saturday morning for the low price of $8, messaged straight away and got a reply...Monday morning. The seller had gone away for the weekend but I was more than welcome to swing by at any stage to come grab it. So on the way to work that arvo, I met Keith and his lovely wife, chatted about home brewing for a couple of minutes and whisked my bargain prize away.
'It's good fun brewing, you'll love it!' Onya Keith!
Cappa has obviously been sitting in Keith's shed for a bit as it's a bit rusty but a bit of wd40 and elbow grease soon got things freed up to be able to adjust things as needed.
More importantly, does it work? For $8 I was figuring that I might need to replace the metal bell on it but as a test I grabbed a nearby empty (from the very tasty Pintail) half filled it with water and pulled down to find...
Would you look at that! Not a drip coming out!
Right, now onto what we need for the front end of this project...stay tuned!
