ok I got regular capsules, and I got jumbo capsules, but and old boy brought 5 cases of bottles gives me an Italian 6 gal carboy, and buys the fruit to make what he wants but these cork finish bottles have a ring around the top that increases the top so large that jumbo capsules break every time where can I find even larger shrink capsules ,

Presque Isle Wine Cellars has different size capsules. Personally I would sink the cork an extra 1/8 inch or so and fill the indentation with wax. Make sure you get good pellet wax made for doing this. There is a difference in the consistency. Presque Isle sells many colors of wax also.
 
thank you Dan
I will check them out,
been a very busy week, sorting Dexter heifers from they're daddy, moving a few cows an my bull, but again thank you and I'll check them out, tomorrow I take steaks standing on hooves to be turned to steaks in my freezer ::

Big ring sounds like they are wax bottles. I've been able to get my shrinks to work by being careful with the heat gun. But wax is fun.
 
yes a point made by another but just as valued as the first time, I've counted I've got 8 bottles outta 6 cases, I've read on here for a few years now, I'M thick headed I recon, but I've done some math and any way I can see it that still a magic number(,meaning I'll stash them for me, and I'll hide them back for me more magically for me.:: ,, as if I don't squirrel away enough already,, lol,, I've already ordered me some sealing wax, ,, and I thank you very much indeed.
