When you say "for any extended periods" what do you mean by that? I've been drinking my meads at 12 months every time.

Hey guys, I had an idea the other day that I could reuse Mogen David 1 gallon bottles for either aging or bottling. Any tips for this? I imagine that the issue I'd be facing is that they're screw caps which don't seal very well. Could I use rubber stoppers and wax for aging 1 or 2 years? What...
