Belgian Bottle Corker

[toolboxdiver]

Does anyone know anyone in the Philly area that rents a floor champagne corker, or if I have to buy one would anyone be interested in renting one for doing belgian bottles with cork and cage. I'm working on a Belgian Lambic Ale and want to Bottle with corks and cages. Just thinking their has to be others thinking about doing it and are hesitant because of the $125 for the corker. I'm just trying to figure a way to do this cost effective.

I know Keystone Homebrew rents corkers. A Beer Advocate post says: "Keystone Homebrew has everything you need, and they'll rent a corker to you (free if you return it the next day!)"

I can't confirm the free thing, but I've been in there when people were renting corkers.

I'm in Ambler and you can borrow my Colonna corker/capper. But if I were you, I'd try Keystone first. I think a floor corker would be a lot easier. The Colonna is kinda finicky.
