WTB: Universal Corker/Capper

[PangaeaBeerFood]

I recently got my hands on a huge stockpile of British beer bottles, which unfortunately don't seal properly with a standard winged capped. So, if I'm going to upgrade anyway, I'm hoping to go all out and find an all-in-one corker/capper that I could use for anything, American bottles, British bottles, Belgian corked bottles, etc.

Anyone have one that they're looking to part with?

Yeah the EU/UK bottles take a smaller crown and capped. I think I still have some caps and a capped from when I was in the UK if you'd be interested ... Only works on the smaller bottles though ...

I appreciate the offer, but I'll probably pass on that. I brew in a tiny 1 bedroom New York apartment, so efficiency is key. It would make more sense for me to hold out for a universal capper than purchase separate ones for different types of bottles and need to store them all. Thanks for chiming in, though!

no worries - good luck!

Anyone else out there have a universal corker/capper they're looking to move?

I have an unused Rigamonti Universal Capper (as seen here: http://www.listermann.com/Store/Details.asp?ID=562).

I got it free from a friend, so if you're in the US I'll send it to you for the cost of shipping. Let me know.

Hey Grim,

What's universal about it? I'm unfamiliar with this product. Can it handle British bottles, champagne bottles, etc.?

FYI, the Colonna capper/corker (http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/colonna-capper-corker.html) dents the top of regular crowns. The good thing is that it has separate bells for 26mm and 29mm caps. and includes the corking iris.
