I used one of the very basic starter kits from northern brewer and now I want to upgrade everything ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I bet that first thing you will upgrade will be your bottles/bottling method. From all my friends I know how much difficult is dealing with these.

Bottling is always tedious but some are better than others. Cheers

Totally agree about the bottles, but honestly I still use the bottle filler and capper from the original northern brewer kit I got 5 years ago or something. Am I missing out on some magic filling method? It always seemed to work really well for me, but perhaps there's a better way!

I mean the bottles. Don't change what isn't broken. These "crown caps" are difficult to deal with.
