So like a ******* n00b I broke the capper halfway through bottling my first batch. The LHBS opens at 11 tomorrow. Of course, the priming sugar has already been added.

So what do I do? Toss it? Cover it and put the airlock back in?

Any suggestions are appreciated. :confused:
 
I am guessing since bottle conditioning takes 3 weeks minimum that if you cover it and continue tomorrow you'll probably be fine.
 
I'd finish filling all of my bottles, place the caps loosely over the tops - and then continue crimping the caps once you can pick up a new capper in the morning.

Suggestion: don't lay down so hard on the crimper. If you're denting the bottle caps, you're over-doing it.
 
I would not finish filling bottles. Cover what's left for tomorrow.
Put aluminum over the bottles already filled.
If not foil Saran.
You'll be fine
