Yep, in the same boat with Dave. My old grandfather used to tell me that a closed mouth gathers no feet!:p

I routinely use a Headspace Eliminator with great success. Of course, you need a vacuum source. The All in One Wine Pump would be the absolute first choice but could probably get by with a food vacuum sealer or homemade pump. If you stick with winemaking, you may end up with an AIO eventually...

Gee Dave, don't sugar coat it. Tell us what your really think!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤣

What Rice_Guy and ibglowin said.

I have a recipe for elder flower and berry wine but can't get 'em to post for some reason. Will be happy to share if I can figure out how. I plan to start my flower wine this week if nothing happens. Harvested flowers about 3 wks ago and place in the freezer. I and others finally determined...

Thanks Vinny, would be interested if you encounter. BTW, you can have your smoke back. We've enjoyed just about all of it we can stand!🤣

Works for me and a lot better than some of things I've been callin' it!!;)

Well, I don't care what you say, still think it's bad JUJU🤣 Seriously, really appreciate you taking time to run the tests. I honestly have no idea what's going on. My old corker will consistently set the "garden variety" corks that I've always used but will set nomas too deep. FWIW I have...

Morning Bryan, I make 50-60 gals/yr.

Yep, that one's been around for LONG time. Thanks

Indeed! And who am I to argue. If the corker is happy, I'm tickled to death!!:db BTW, just managed to remove the cork from inside the bottle - yeah, don't like to waste resources. The Grand Canyon was created when my 3rd great grandfather dropped a nickel down a prairie dog hole. 🤣

Picked up a 100 ct bag of my old corks Wednesday b/4 going on a short trip. This morningI tried a Normacorc on an empty bottle as control and it popped all the way into the bottle. I then corked the same bottle with one of the new "old" variety and it was perfect! Bottled 22 bottles of 2022...

Thanks for the detailed explanation and nice work space. I'm going back to my old generic corks that I've used for almost 30 yrs. Never had the seating variation problem until I switched to Nomacorc. I marked the change on the tension plate so I can return to original setting if needed. Will...

Thanks Vinny. Will be picking up new corks today and will see if my adjustment makes any difference with them. Will let you know.

Possibility; will check out. Thanks

As my old maternal grandmother told me when I was 6 yrs old: "If you can't listen, you can feel" My listening abilities and comprehension improved greatly after the first session!!!!!

Well, FWIW just found this: "If the bottle platform fails to return when the corking arm is returned to the top position, tightening the two small screws on the bottom of the front leg can increase platform tension. Adjust them clockwise one turn at a time. " Remember I noted that the platform...

You've come to the right place. We know everything there is to know about winemaking. We just can't remember it all at one time or in the same way!! 🤣 Glad to have you aboard!

Nope struck out all around. Let me know if you have any success. Happy Winemaking

"All gave some; some gave all" Thanks for their sacrifice to make our country the greatest in history.
