Home Bottling...Part 2

[dr galaga]

I successfully bottled some Diet Coke this past week.  Thanks ZMonet for the caps!
I had to get another capper though.  I was playing with the first "capper" and the bottles would not come out!  Then Creighton PM'ed me to say that he thought that I may have corker!  Yep, he was right.  I searched for another old capper for a bit and got one.  I could have gotten a newer one, but I'm refilling old bottles to put in an old machine, I wanted an old capper!
I found out that room temperature  bottles work best.  At first I tried freezing the empty bottles and pouring cold DC in to them.  They foamed right up.  When I used room temperature bottles, it worked great.

In case anyone else is looking for a capper, examine the pic below.  The one on the left is a corker, the one on the right is for capping crowns.  You can tell by how long the piece is that the cap (or cork) sits in (or pushed with).

Glad that got sorted out Brent. Have fun!!
