Picked the box up at an army/navy surplus store a few years ago! Oh and the IPA is quite tasty! :D

That's pretty cool, I notice you are using Grolsch bottles, do you keep using the same bottles over and over, and if so, do the seals work OK?

Thanks and Yeah the bottles are great! want to speed up your bottling session? go buy some flip top bottles and BOOM you will be done bottling way faster than with a capper.

my bottles are about 4 years old and still holding a seal. I found some antique French Beer 1/3 liter flip top bottles and am working on replacing the seals. They sort of melted so they have stuck bits to the ceramic tops. New washers are about 5 cents each.

Yamaha: Great job with the case, and your choice on bottles; can't agree with your choice on bikes (if I interpret your screenname correctly).

Bazooka: Maybe homebrew suppliers sell replacement Grolsch seals for a reasonable price.

Bottoms up!
