Yeah I'm still keen, especially since the cost of these is on par with O2 barrier caps anyway, from what I've seen.

OK I would like to add my interest for 1000 but can't seem to add to the list and total without retyping the total list!!!
Surely there is an easier way so I must be missing something!!! and that is not uncommon for me at times.

You just copy the list (highlight, right click, copy) from the previous post, and paste (right click, paste) into your text field, but Benn has you covered anyway.
 
no more interest in this?

If I dont get any more, I will have to call it a failed bulk buy

Are you guys more worried about oxygen in the headspace than not sterilising the caps? I only ask out of curiosity, certainly not experience, colour me intrigued (I also need to get some more caps)!

Who said anything about not sanitising?
I plan on at the very least spraying with starsan before putting it on the bottle

I've read that you're not supposed to get them wet. I think I also read that you're not supposed to no-rinse them (because that gets them wet). Or perhaps what I read was that you only no-rinse at the last moment? Can anyone confirm?

Sounds like a good idea! That's why I was asking the question as I normally just soak my caps in bulk in sanitiser but thought this process might compromise these particular caps. I hadn't thought of giving them a quick spray.

I'm keen, but what sort of price would I be looking at for 1000 posted to regional W.A?

~35 in a post bag... I assume post bags get to you?
Would need to know exactly how much the caps weigh, but 1000 should not weigh more than 3kg

Yep, post bags delivered on the back of a sloth probably.

Can you add me in for 1000 please, I'm cut and paste deficient ATM for some reason.
Anyone local to me that wants in? I could up my order or divy up my 1000.
 
Scratch that, I'll go in for 2000.
Surely there's some people not completely kegging in my local that will be willing to try them.

That should bring the postage price percap down

Well thats enough people to make it worthwhile, I will work on exact prices and get them to everyone.
You will need to work out if you need them posted, or if you can pick them up. Also let me know if anyone is going in with someone else for combined postage
It looks like 500 caps will have to go into a 3kg bag, hopefully getting that info today.

Pickup southern Central Coast or Macquarie Park area

While waiting on a value for the weight, I have come up with the following pricing not including postage:

500: $10.88
1000: $21.77
2000: $43.54

This includes caps, postage to me and zip lock bags.

Postage will depend on the weight and physical size. from Aus Post:

500g: 35.5 x 22cm - 8.50
3kg: 40.5 x 31cm - 13.80
5kg: 51 x 43.5cm - 17.60
 
Well I'll take 500 if that helps hit that magic number, otherwise just scratch me off the end...

You are welcome, we may have more if people drop out or the Central Coast Brewers dont take the lot.... or if somehow there ends up with enough interest in a second box.
