Twin handle vs bench capper

[Jumbo82]

I've bottled 500+ with my capper and have never sheared a cap or chipped a bottle. If I had a room dedicated to brewing I'd probably invest in a bench capper, but given my current situation its not practicle. I have no complaints. I actually enjoy bottling almost as much as brewing. It brings my beer that much closer to my lips

I've bottled 2,200 plus bottles with a wing capper and have broken one bottle in the process. Every time I bottle I also check for nicks and cracks in all my bottles. The wing capper gives me some guff with less standard bottles. I'd like a bench capper for that, but it's kinda far down my equipment list.

I got the Ferrari automatic adjusting one right after Christmas. I love it every time I use it. I was scared my wing capper was going to wear out and break half way through a batch.

Yeah, I use an old old old one. I had to screw it to a piece of plywood, but it works great. I haven't tried it with screwtop bottles but I will next time.

Can you mount it to a piece of plywood or something? What is the mount, a clamp or screw down?

Screw holes in the bottom plate.

All these talk about the winged capper are scaring me.... I am about to bottle my first brew with one soon, in a couple of days

no need to worry, wing cappers work great. just take your time.

do you have to attach the super agata to a table/bench, or can it be used straight out of the box?

 

[EdWort]

I attach my bench capper (it's an antique) to a piece of wood. Works great. I've never used a wing capper in over 20 years of homebrewing and don't expect to. They look like a mess just waiting to happen.

I upgraded to a kegging system. now the only bottleing im doing is 2lt. bottles to take to parties

 

[TeleTwanger]

Bench capper all the way. Emily cappers are nylon piece of craps. I've seen some old Italian made wingers that were not made of nylon that looked pretty awesome though but your everyday nylon winger? Screw those.

Thanks for resurrecting a 7 month old thread to tell us all about it.

Where can I buy a Ferrari capper?

Where can I buy a Ferrari capper?

The Agata bench capper can be found at pretty much all the online retailers- Northern Brewer, Midwest Supplies, Austin Homebrew, b3

This is what you're after:

Thanks, I was able to find that one. I had read about the Ferrari in the forum and wanted to compair. Maybe it has been replaced with the Agata?
