Just wanted to say this is brilliant. Definitely stealing this idea for an upcoming weekend project.

Actually just sold this yesterday!

If anyone is interested, I'm selling my TAD setup if you want to expand yours: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f16/tap-draft-system-extra-tap-152867/

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous.

This has been sold!

Good call. Those ez-cap bottles are EXTREMELY thick, however, so a bit of vinegar/baking soda might not be too tough... blurgh it shouldn't have to be this complicated.

Hah, cool idea. I'll see what happens with that.

I took a look at the bottles tonight and tried to figure out what I would bend... what part are you suggesting I bend, and how, to make it tighter? It certainly FEELS quite snug right now.

Carbonate them naturally upright. Chill them in your fridge. Attach the tap with the bottle upright (obviously), lay it on its side, then insert C02 cartridges, keeping it on its side. Stick it back in the fridge and keep it cold and on its side from then on. I'm attempting to naturally...

I don't understand how the mold lines on the plastic tops could affect the carbonating - the rubber seals squish into place, the little mold lines don't touch the lip of the bottle at all! I'll give one or two sanded ones a shot next batch I guess.

First quote I've ever thought was clever enough to get into a sig.

I routinely get underfills from my buddy at Great Lakes Brewing, and they never get labeled in the first place. A great supply of bottles. :)

I put gloves on 3 flip-cap bottles on Tuesday night, and put a rubber band under the hardware as tight as I could manage. I think that the two ambers, which had just been bottled Sunday night, are showing some mild inflation. If I squeeze the gloves a bit they certainly feel like they have some...

Cheers, I know you're just trying to help! I'll report back on the shake + glove test and give the other EZ-capped bottles another 2 weeks before I even pop them. The Tap-A-Draft jug is just about ready to hit the fridge anyway. :mug:

I just bought a bunch of neoprene gloves for working on my moped, I'll definitely test this out just to remove variables.
