THanks for the reply [USER=30385]@salcoco[/USER] . Could the brute force wood block and hammer work to cork with the plastic corks? I'll have to check my capper and see if I can swap out the 26mm capper for a 29mm one...that'd work for me. I figure with the holidays coming up I might be able to stumble upon some recycled champagne bottles. Or, maybe find a deal on some new ones...I wonder, are the ones usually sold here in the USA European size bottle tops or are indeed USA size? I'd have to be sure and inquire from the vendor if I buy some...my semi-local homebrew store and a decent deal on some new ones so I might go that route.
