Plastic Corks + Metal Twist-Clamps

Richard · February 10, 2011, 05:34:41 PM

Anyone know where I can source a whole shitload of plastic corks + those metal clamps to hold them in under pressure? I'm planning on making use of wine magnums to cut down my bottling time.

Richard · February 10, 2011, 06:25:39 PM

Beer. Wine (Champagne) magnums.

Why potent? Is there a problem with infection or something?

My intention was just to use it in place of my 500ml bottles for pretty much everything...

bottlnig lots = no fun

hence why using 1.5L magnums versus 500ml bottles is an awesome idea... if it won't make the beer suck.

Also Jmac: some will but unfortunately the ones I can get can't. C'est la vie.

Get back, satan.

i know i know.. :oops:

I just think 1.5L bottles for beer is a bit much..but that's my opinion. I personally found the fischer bottles of 650 too much when i was using them as i normally didn't have a glass big enough..then the second pour was full of sediment....i could of used two glasses i guess..LOL...but i ended up going to kegs.

good luck with the search for the corks...no idea where to get em.

I can't see it making the beer suck... shouldn't make any difference if the beer is 13% or 3%.

Jmac: You actually have a very good point about the glass size... I guess this just means I'm gonna need a bigger set of glasses

Heads to Walmart to ask: *I just can't fit enough booze in my face at once, can you help me?*
