DIY Tap Handles - 3/8"-16 Threaded Inserts

[Vermelho]

So my taps arrived from America and I realised I hadn't bought handles with them even though I was certain I had. I even had the sarky email ready in my head for when I sat down. Anyway, I didn't. So I'm thinking of making them. Does anyone know where I'd get these:

Or possibly cheap handles?

Great idea!

Yeast vial taps it is. Anyone have spare yeast vials?

[Hop Bomb]

Not my idea Will. They look great.

Removing the sticker residue from the White Labs yeast containers is pretty rough going, for what that's worth.

I'd think if you could get a cool looking piece of bog oak from a farmer, you could have a really amazing tap handle, too.

I binned several only last week. 

Ah well. I'll just ramp up the brewing over the next couple of weeks.

So I managed to get some 3/8" 16TPI threaded nuts, so I plan to glue these to the vial lids and then attach the vial bodys. Sounds easy enough. I'll let you know how I get on.
