I'm preparing to bottle a barley wine. I plan on laying it down for a while and was toying with the idea of storing in champagne bottles and corks. I was turned off by this idea once I saw the price of the necessary equipment for corking champagne bottles ($150 floor model!) While looking through these bottling equipment sites I came across a refference to a method of "corking and capping beer" it said "typically used for long term ales such a s barley wine" I am very interested in alternative bottling methods and am curious if anyone out there has any knowledge of this method of "corking and Capping" or other corking methods that don't require $150 equipment. by the way the capper I use is a red barron 2 lever style.
