I missed that they legalized marijuana in Tennessee. Congratulations on your new freedoms.
LOL, someone has a poopy diaper HA HA....
I haven't showered in three days. I've been packing things into a Uhaul truck for the last two, and I just finished putting in baseboard trim downstairs in our new remodel home after painting 1500 sq feet of walls, removing 500 sq feet of Rastafarian color themed carpet and putting down new laminate flooring. Now I get to do crown moulding and wiring so I can put my tv above my fireplace and play some much deserved video games.
tired. not poopy.
I like having bottles around so I can give them away. other than that I prefer to keg.

I just bottle while I brew. While the strike water is heating I siphon into the bottling bucket. Once I mash in I start bottling. It takes me about 30 minutes to sanitize, bottle and cap a batch.
No problem
I like variety and always have about 8 different brews in my fridge.

I just a bought a bench capper and used for the first time, what can I say, it made me happy!
I've only bottled 2 batches so far, but it is enjoyable to me. It really doesn't take too long (with a bench capper), probably more time to wash and san than fill and cap. Since i'm only doing extract so far I think it's because of the hands on, other than a boil, if it weren't for bottling it would almost feel like I didn't put any work into it. The more effort it takes, the more rewarding it is I guess. That said, I can imagine that after a 7hr AG brew day, it would be more like "screw this, keg it and done."
Is it easy to adjust the bench capper to different size bottles?

Yes, very easy. And it probably cost about ten bucks more than the typical 'wing' capper. It makes the process that whole process that much easier
The wife usually does the capping. Maybe I'll get her one for Christmas.
