It appears to be doing the exact opposite of what I'm looking for in a capper.

Nebraska arrived in Texas. Keeping reviews to myself, it's personal.

Is it easy to adjust the height? One review mentioned it was really difficult to do so. Maybe he is a pansy.

The hardest part is getting the cork height set. I set the heights for all the different bottles I was using and marked the grooves before I started bottling and had no problems at all. The base plate tends to hang up in the grooves when changing heights, but nothing that a little tap wouldn't take care of.

The plate has a couple of nubs, I put it in a press and flattened them out a bit or a shot with a hammer would do it.
It's more stout then I imagined when I ordered it.

This Nebraska IPA a little better..

That is a carbon copy of my back up

My house was built in '63...one owner, the guy had passed long before the wife, and she passed shortly after we bought it. They left all the hand tools behind. Your guess is as good as mine as to the age of this thing.

Glad you did that. My thoughts were virtually identical other than adding an offer to "hold" his stash for him so the temptation wasn't there.

I actually use mine, don't own another. Broke a wing capper on my first batch and have used the old guys ever since. I have always done it that way, lots of old tools in my shop. Having a sandblast cabinet helps.

Galaxy/MO smash. Nice and fesh.

To be fair, I did give up drinking once, and I did actually sleep well that night rather then coming down for a shot.

Luckily I have free access to a large sandblaster and powder coating setup, but I don't think I would ever refinish that thing. Pretty cool as is.

Another pour.

I sandblasted enough to make mine move again as both were rusted stuck. Rubbed them down with keg lube to hold off rust and put them back to work. Just left the rust on the non working areas. Need to replace the wood base though, keep telling myself not to bother as it will find a permanent mount some day. Seems like a good time to show off my grain mill again.
