If someone gets a number 10 with reserve written on it - it may benifit from a zap from a carbonation cap. I had to replace a leaking bottle cap on it (Really, I'd meant to exclude it from the swap but got sidetracked by the shiny thing in the kitchen) :unsure: .

Is this cold enough Troy?

 

[Parks]

I see you haven't gone the extra step that Brad did :lol:

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I think I'm missing something!

 

[Parks]

Brad froze my beer.

I even put the glass in the ice slurry to get it chilled to the max. Beautiful colour, crystal clear no sign of chill haze, smells hoppy, not like farts like other lagers I've had. Tastes of slightly dank hops and a little malt. Extremely pleasant beer on this hot humid day

So my number 8 has the new cap and collar as well as on old collar. Not sealed at all. When its squeezed air goes in and out. What do people reckon? Any hope?

BTW a safer way to remove the collars is to insert a screwdriver between the collar and bottle from the bottom. When you lever up the ring either stretches and can be removed or it just snaps. No cut fingers.
