Bottling wax

Dstreetbrew · Jun 21, 2012

So long story short I need bottleing wax for this weekend. Expecting my shipment today I receive an email saying they don't have the correct address. My question is would I just beagle to break up some candles and melt them and use that to seal my bottles? Or am I screwed

Hit up a craft store, wax is common. I think normal candle wax is too brittle when it cools.

Paraffin wax for canning that you can buy at the grocery store should work just fine.

Google bottle waxing, you should find an article where a guy used crayons and glue sticks. I don't remember ratios off the top of my head, but i tried it and it worked great

You could always look at your local homebrew supply shop, it's a fairly common item & most LHBS's carry it...
Well, assuming you have a LHBS.
