Hi Guys,
I finally got around to using my bottle corking machine
today, which worked great. However the cork instructions say rinse in water to
remove dust, so I did. My only concern is the machine squeezes the cork so much
a small amount of brackish fluid is exuded from the cork. I’m slightly
concerned as to what effect this might have. Anyone used this kind of thing as
described above before?
I also bottled some elderberry wine today. The action of sucking
it through the siphon tube and spitting out the mouthful of wine you get left
my mouth quite numb for a while. Tastes nice though, proceed with caution!
All the best
Ed
