I love those White Gypsy bottles! But those labels are feckin impossible to remove. So I don't bother.

And as sad as it sounds, I'd be buying a lot more White Gypsy if I could remove those labels. Brewers take note!

I was there on Sat actually. Nice chap. He was telling me they're gona do a crowd fund for a 1000 litre oak cask. Also plans to plant sour cherry trees along the boundary of the hop field. Picked up a few bottles in the local Centra there too. Only had the belgian so far & its great.
On tap: Flanders, Gose,
Fermenting: Oatmeal Brown, 200ish Fathoms,
Ageing: bretted 1890 export stout.
To brew:  2015 RIS, Kellerbier, Altbier.

Nothing wrong with the black plastic cappers. They're reinforced well and work a treat.

When both of you you say black plastic, do you mean the pic of the one I posted Waaaayy up the way?
The Red handled Chrome jobbie is the dodgy one AFAIK.
I met with Brewcity at the expo who confirmed this.

I have the Black plastic one, never a problem.
