Your yeast could be a low foaming strain. It looks good.

I have seen these as well.. My LHBS has them. It might be a cool experiment to bottle a batch half corks and half zorks to see how they keep.

Great looking wine.. At least now you know it is protected from social clearing dangers.

I use One Step cleaner sanitizer after rinsing out any wine residue with very hot water.

Awsome.. That is a shrimp you can toss on the barbie. How many did you get?

You do not see that very often. That will make a interesting mount.....

Used bottles like everyone said are ok, but look out for those new thinner bottles that may not be strong enough for a hand corker. Oh like they said stay away from screw tops. Sometimes local wineries will sell used bottle for around six bucks.

I also have that type of bung and place it in the the carboy first then the airlock. I have not had any problems with slippage. It sound lik your wine will turn out, let us know it matures.

Getting ready to bottle some Wheat beer and start my next batch of wine.... You got to love fall it gets you in the mood to brew. I have got a lot of wine now too, but for some reason I want to make more.

Darn stink bugs.. They want to take everything from us. They can take over our Homes and Vehicles , but they cannot take our wine... Help stop the stink bug menace. Seal it up tight.
