Title: Bottle caps
Post by: TAE73 on 03/12/12 07:59 UTC: Jason,

Is it possible to purchase just the red bottle caps? I seem to loose or misplace one every now and then.

I guess it's good we stuck with the red as I'm sure the black would really have an issue with getting lost.

I've added the yorker caps and red caps to the site (they are a pair).

Thanks,

If it seals well I wouldn't think so. I know the red caps just snap on so you may be getting a better barrier??

Post by: kipbass on 03/12/12 18:02 UTC: Snap is cool, but does that change the size of the drop? Would have to relearn all the recipes. I got a 1oz sample bottle from m-f, I assume the flip top would be the same, a flat top with a hole in it. The drops are bigger with it.
So keep the yorker if thats the case.
