Okay..several questions....
I have a number of old Duvel bottles which I've been using when bottling. Typically one bottle per batch with a plastic champagne cork http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=4371
and a wire stopper. After opening this weekend, i found it was flatter than a board. Oh, I still drank it. I mean...come on...it's beer!
Anyone else ever use these stoppers with success?
What about the 29MM caps I've read about will these fit on a Belgian bottle? I know i may need an adapter for my capper...
Also.... assuming that all my other bottles are flat, is it possible to use a bit of dry yeast and a bit of sugar to "re-carb" these...
Any advice on these is greatly appreciated.
