I just saw a video of a guy who made a Drink maker using a microcontroller and 2 windshield washer pump.

It made me think about using it at bottling time with beer on one side and the priming sugar on the other. Press the button and your ready to cap. Even a simpler version where you just need one pump so you put you priming sugar in the hole batch as usual...
But im kegging so i prefer individual priming because i never know how much beer is left after filling my keg.
So now for the capping do anyone have an idea about how we could automate that process for cheap... something like a DIY electric capper.
The bill so far
Arduino : 34.99$
Pump: 9.75$ X 2
Electronic part: 20.51$
__________
Total: 75$ 2 Pump version (65.25$ One pump version)
I was thinking about modifying a benchcapper i already have so there is 25$ left to be on my 100$ target.
Any idea is welcome !
Thanks
