I've got one of the double-handle type cappers like the one shown that you can have for free. Pick up from Victoria University in Footscray. PM me if interested.

I'd ask this guy if he would separate as it would be a better capper than the one above. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/broadford/miscellaneous-goods/bottle-cappers/1045823449
On the other hand you can have my hand capper if you don't like your hands.

I'm surprised the "RAWR You don't need a secondary!!!" hasn't started yet...

Oh R'lly ? I was told i needed a secondary to pour into to separate most of the gunk after primary fermentation ? and is better for beer priming ?

Especially as the next brew i was going to try was a stout where i was going to pour into a secondary after primary had finished and then add a quantity of dissolved black treacle prior to bottling

Cheers ?

Stuff like bulk priming (still can be done without secondary, tho) and racking onto additional ingredients is a valid reason for a secondary
Most of the time though if you're just making a simple ale/lager, a single fermenter will do just fine
I use a single fermenter and have crystal clear beers, others prefer to secondary
whatever floats your boat, really (as long as you accept the possible risk of infection and oxidation with a secondary)

*edit*
Go easy with the treacle, it can be VERY overpowering

Thanks for your input so far hopefully good for a capper but still looking for a fermenter also Mr sp0rk i have a few more Q's but thought it best to create a new thread here :

Hey man, while this isn't second hand, it's still pretty cheap. Most bunnings stores will have them. They're wide mouth, food grade HDPE and they also come in a 30L size. AND THEYRE CHEAP!

if you're still looking for a secondary, I have one you can have.
