Beer Capper, how to choose it?
Encapsulating beer in a bottle is the easiest, quickest and most economical way to package your brew. However, you'll need a beer capper to crimp the cap properly.
Beer Capper 26 or 29mm, what's the difference ?
Here, everything depends on the cap format. The 26mm format is the most widespread, and is mainly used on standard 25, 33, 50 and 75cl bottles. The 29mm format is generally used on champagne bottles. However, this is not a hard and fast rule: you'll normally find this information when you buy your bottles.
There are economical beer cappers (such as the hammering capper) that are exclusive to the 26mm format. That said, the majority of models allow both cap formats to be crimped. Most beer capper heads are removable, making it easy to switch between 26 and 29mm. A little tip: it's best to always have capsules in both formats.
What beer capper models are available?
While most models allow you to switch between crimping 26mm and 29mm caps, the main difference lies in the beer capper's price, sturdiness and ease of use.
To put it simply, there are several main models: hammer cappers, hand-held cappers, stand-mounted cappers, rack-and-pinion cappers and pneumatic cappers.
Hammer Capper & hand capper captain
.
.
These two models are the least expensive, and the only two cappers in our catalog that are exclusive to the 26mm format.
The hammering capper is our most economical model: simply place it on the cap (itself placed on the neck) and strike it with a hammer. The main drawback is that it's not very intuitive to use, and it's not easy to control the strength of the first blows. But for less than 5€, it can be an interesting first model.
The Captain hand beer capper is more interesting for beginners. Admittedly, it only offers a 26mm format, but it's inexpensive, sturdy and crimping is much more intuitive with its two levers.
Hand Capper EMILY
This is the ideal first model of manual capper. The two-lever design is similar to that of the captain capper. The big advantage is the removable head, which means it can crimp both 26 and 29mm caps. It is also equipped with a magnet to stabilize the cap and guarantee perfect crimping. The disadvantage of this type of capper is that bottles may slip when the two levers are pressed. The best way to overcome this problem is to bottle on a "bulgom" tablecloth.
Rack and floor cappers

Rack crown capper 26 and 29mm
Steel capper for 26 and 29 mm capsules.
in stock - shipped in 24 hours
These two pedestal-mounted models overcome the problem of slippage that can occur with two-lever manual cappers. Simply place the bottle on the base and crimp. They can, of course, crimp 26 and 29mm caps.
The difference between the two models lies in the handling during crimping. The rack-and-pinion capper is sturdier in design, but requires a little more time to turn the crank. The pedestal capper, on the other hand, stands out for its disconcerting ease of use: a simple lever movement is all it takes to crimp your capsules.
Beer Capper CORONA ECO 26 & 29mm
Don't be fooled by the word ECO. In fact, this capper is the compact version of the table-top capper presented below. The corona ECO is a manual floor-standing capper that's easier to use than its predecessors, and far more robust. Made of steel, compact, lightweight and with a base that can be fixed to a stand, this model is built to last. One of the best cappers in our catalog.
Beer Capper CORONA table model 26 & 29mm
An ideal first professional model of floor-standing capper. It's the best of its type in our catalog. It's built to last, even under continuous, intensive use. Its use is similar to that of the ECO model, it's just bigger and stronger.
Pneumatic beer capper
This is a change of capper category, as this model is clearly for professional use. The pneumatic capper is capable of capping 500-600 bottles per hour. It's more complex to use than manual models, since it requires an air compressor, but its efficiency is a strong argument in its favor.
