champagne corks

I've collected quite a few champagne style bottles in my endevors.

I plan on using them soon, but can only seem to find plastic corks. Anybody know where to find natural or synthetic corks?

I know I'm going to have to get the proper bell for my corker and cages to use the corks.


Thanks,

I believe northern brewer and all the othe major beer/wine stores carry them. I think you need a special corker for champagne corks though.

I can only find the plastic corks there.

Natural corks are getting tough to find and most companies have gone to plastic stoppers for champagne. It is much less likely to fail or leak.

Thank you.

If I'm not mistaken. I believe you might be able to cap champagne bottles like beer bottles.

Not theese ones. They have a large rounded lip at the mouth of the bottle.

The larger unibroue bottles. There are a few others, but that's the first off the top of my head.

And anyway, there are only a couple beers I want to bottle with these, and I really want the style of the natural/synthitic champaign corks. Otherwise I would just end up using the plastic ones or a diffrent bottle all together.
