Here is a very easy way with no sparking, and by far the safeest way to go. Go buy a 12 volt test light if you already dont have 1. Ground the cap, take the 12 volt test light and put it on the positive lead of the cap, the light will come on. When the light goes out, volla the cap is fully charged.

If you use a resistor it will drain faster...
