With luck the currents set up in the liquid mix everything enough without introducing too much oxygen and you end up with a much more consistent result, ie each bottle should be primed equally. It's a bit hit and miss as well as time consuming doing each bottle at a time!<br /><br />I have plans to build a real press for next year. Watch out for it.<br /><br />As to keeping that last bottle for the first pressing?
