Title: Neat little trick with the stock volume knob
Post by: senpai3330 on April 25, 2013, 04:24:24 AM: (https://forum.bottlehead.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi415.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fpp237%2FSenpai3330%2F20130425_101151_zpse1335501.jpg&hash=ecd229689ead39d3c966177fe051c9b68558764b)

A standard bottle cap fits on it perfectly! If you squeeze the sides a bit, it'll be a snug fit. The grooves on the edges catch and can turn the knob.
With the right bottle cap, it can complement a more old-fashioned looking Crack.

Post by: corndog71 on April 26, 2013, 11:28:56 AM: In the last year or two I've gotten back into drinking beer. My current favorites are the 90-minute IPA and Theobroma "chocolate" beer by craft brewer Dogfish head. Their Pallo Santo and 120-min IPA are good too but better for special occasions. The latter is especially potent (~18%ABV!) and really needs to be shared.

This has given me an extensive collection of bottlecaps which I had been saving for a relative until he apparently lost interest in whatever project they were going towards. For some strange reason I'm still collecting them though. :o ;)

Post by: 2wo on April 26, 2013, 12:23:46 PM: I love the 60 and 90 minute IPA, as a matter of fact I will be bringing some down to Hornfest next weekend.

I split a case of the 120m IPA and was shocked by how much it ended up costing. When all was said and done, I found it to be more interesting than good. Maybe a case of, if two is good four, may not be better...John

Post by: corndog71 on April 26, 2013, 12:46:50 PM: Yeah, with the 120 you really only need 1/2 a bottle and then sip it for a hour.

Post by: earwaxxer on April 26, 2013, 06:27:06 PM: Wow, interesting you should mention the IPA's. I love them! Sam Adams has a selection of them now that I really like. Of course the alcohol content is great, but the robust hopping is where its at. I used to be a home brewer, and this sort of steed makes me want to get back in the saddle.

Anyway - I particularly love the far off tales of drinking in foreign lands. Keep them coming. That reminds me of a show I used to love, what the hell was it... it was some guy getting shit faced in a different country every episode!
