I've recently got 50 twist top tallies, and have had a go at capping them to see how they go and am having trouble getting a good seal on them. I'm using a brigalow bench capper i believe, though it doesn't have a magnet.. not sure if these ones do or not. i picked it up 2nd hand for 15 dollars ...

i did a quick search before i made this topic and nothing came up...

Does any one have a root beer recipe they wouldn't mind sharing??

The most valuable piece of advice i have ever recieved, thankyou beirmeister. I owe you 6000 somethings!!!

woah thats crazy, i live in nerang to!!!

so simple yet so genoius, why didn't i think of that..

JUst about to rack my beer, and got me thinking, what does everyone use for thie process, i just have a piece of tubing and suck the end, i know its unsanitary but no problems as of it..Any better suggestions as well?

cheers, Sam.

awesome, cheers, i looked back a few pages and couldn't see anything, so will look closer this time.
thanks.
