I've been thinking of investing in one of those bottles trees for a while now. They just seem so convenient.

Does anyone else use one and (not) recommend using it?


Cheers, sponge

Very useful ,sponge.I have been using a red one ,like in the article ,for two years and it cost about $35 from the local HBS.It holds 63 bottles.I give my plastic Coopers 740 ml bottles a bleach solution soak the day before bottling,rinse them and leave them on the tree overnight.Next day carry the tree and bottles over to the fermenter table.Easy.

Hand cappers are no good for thin-wall bottles.
Can easily lead to glass/hand or glass/eye related incidents.

They are conveniently cheap and I have 2 as novelty items. You may wish to make a bench capper or purchase one. The ones that you can buy will last many years and work out well as an investment, considering how long they will last.
As for me, I own a home-made capper that was bought at a regional Sunday-market.

I have my "Emily" for capping. Can't take a photo at the moment but it should be on the web. I'll find it.

Greetings,

Alex

EDIT:

I really have no idea why it's called Emily, but I think you know this Item. Works really fine and is inexpensive:

If you knew Emily, you'd understand....
