Ghetto corking...

[Nimrod3388]

I did a search on cheap ways to cork belgian bottles but their were no reply posts with a success or failure report. Will a hose clamp work on mushrooming the bottom of a cork so the cork can be shoved in far enough? Opinions and thoughts....

I doubt that will work, and I don't have any suggestions other than buying a corker.

you will need a corker unless you can find plastic stoppers that fit.

Thanks. Ill spend the extra dollars!

BYO had an article on using a floor corker to accomplish this last fall I believe...its how I do mine - if you want details PM me.

Im doing my due diligence on corkers and have come to this question, Will a double lever corker be able to put belgian corks (29mm) into a belgian bottle? Thanks!

Dunno. My single lever corcker (corona?) floor corker puts Belgian corks into Belgian 750 bottles w/o a problem.
