Hehe... It's funny though how people of like mind (homebrewers for instance) can come to the same "invention" completely on their own...

If you cant find the cap saran wrap over the top secured with a rubber band does the trick.

This is a simple but good thread. I never thought to look at them and guess I've just gotten lucky.

I'm usually good. I have a box with 10 or so caps. It's just a matter of finding the box from week to week

We've been around a brewery or two...
