Whilst these are cool and all (flip-tops), I find when bottling that the actual capping part takes about 5 minutes, whereas the filling part takes about 20-30 mins (using 500ml or bigger bottles and a wand), and the priming bucket transfer + sugar boiling + bottle sanitising takes about another half hour.

Allowing for "moving the bottles from one place to another" and "moving beer to my face" it usually takes me about two hours -- 4% of which is me putting caps on things.

I prefer bottles that come in 5 gallon size and can be force carbonated.

If you go to the receyling center you can get grolsch or fisher bottles for 10 Cents a bottle or best metals sales them for 35 cents a bottle. Sure they are not cleaned out but that doesn't take alot of time to do.

how do you get them for 10cents a bottle? I've bought them for 25cents each....never been 10 cents since i've been buying them there.

And just a heads up with those EZ cap bottles, they're not as good as the grolsch or fischer, and if you soak them in oxyclean or anything, the wire tops turn whitish and look like shit. And i've heard they break easier too. Granted, they're about $30 per dozen from wine kitz and the like, but they're still not worth the $10 a doz like in the ad.....stick with the grolsch or the fischer in my opinion.
