I just bottled 30 bottles of Peach Apricot with a brand new two handle corker and no 9 x 1 3/4 corks.
There has got to be an easier way.
Almost all wanted to stop about 1/4 inch before being flush. It was not the adjustment, it was that the sides would slip past the lip. Then after putting weight on the corker w/out the sides touching it wouldn't want to budge w/out all my weight (200 lbs). Then it would go too far before I could stop it.
Did I mention the large Hickey on my neck that I developed by trying to have a 5th hand pressing down in the middle of the corker while my wife held the bottle. Ouch.
I know, this thread is worthless w/out a picture. Maybe later.
