OK so I feel like a deviant for even considering something neither a keg nor brown glass...but indulge me.
I just bottled my first AG in champers bottles (well, cava...we're not that posh) cos it's been Hogmanay and a friend's house warming so there were plenty of appropriate empties to hand. While I was successful and the caps appear tight, it was clear the capper was straining a bit. So I take a look, and the bottle neck grip is double sided with 26mm and 29mm stamped on each side, but it is kept in place with a bit of the plastic moulding. Presumably there is a scam somewhere to sell a different version to both beer and sparkling wine lovers and woe betide you if you are both .
Has anyone sussed how to (none too destructively) make these dual purpose? It's one of the common or garden red Emily hand cappers.
Cheers,
Dan
