Since I'm bottling 104-106 bottles each brew, I am wondering if a bench bottling press would be faster. I have read other threads on bench presses but could not find any real recommendation on an all steel constructin model. I want to get an all steel model as I know it will last my lifetime and other generations. Over 30 years ago I bought a Dillon Precision 550 reloading press that works today just as it did when I first bought it. I want the same quality in a bench bottle capper.
What do you recommend? Is Grifo's unit shown on MoreBeer (https://www.morebeer.com/products/deluxe-bench-bottle-capper.html) a good model? My hand clapper fits 26.5mm bottles. I read on some threads, sometimes the caps get stuck on some bench bottle cappers. So, will I see that happen since I am going from 26.5mm to 26mm?
Lastly, I am planning on using it on my serving bar. Therefore, I would be installing thick rubber feet that is typically used on glass tops on the bottom of the unit or I may just place it on my rubber spill mat.
