Cold Crash and Finings I can now confirm that using the approach described above did in fact provide enough carbonation after a week or two. I'm happy with the results, and I'm going to use this same strategy again for future brews. In fact, next time, I'm going to Larger my beer for 3 or 4 days rather than the 2 days that I did in this instance. |

Best Crown Capper I ended up borrowing a two handled capper, and this worked perfectly - quick, easy and forms a reliable seal. I would recommend any new brewer to not even bother with a hammer on capper - just get a 2 handled capper to start. But, I have since purchased a bench capper - if you have the space and the budget, this is definitely the way to go. It makes the process way faster. The bench capper also has no problem with the bottles tending to tip over, which is the only downside of the two handled capper. |

Cold Crash and Finings I now find myself in a quandary. Answers from brewers of vastly more experience than myself giving conflicting advice... So I have gone out on a limb and tried the technique described above risking the fact that it may cause my beer to fail. While I'm waiting for it to carb up (or not, as the case may be) feel free to vote the answers below up or down based on your experience... I'll update this question with my results. |

Best Crown Capper Thanks for the responses... I'm not hearing anyone say that a hammer on capper is the under-appreciated capping solution. So, it's time for an upgrade - based on my limited budget and storage space, I'm going to go for a two-handled capper. Once day, when I win the lottery and have a dedicated brewing shed I'll invest in a bench capper! Cheers. |
