Glass stopper + wax

[Byeast]

Hey everyone,

I came across some cheap, nice bottles with tight fitting/sealing glass stoppers.

It occurred to me: Would it be feasible to bottle a flat beer or wine by fitting on the stopper, and coating the stopper in wax past the joint and up to the neck? Rather out there, but it's an interesting concept.

It seems that a similar process already exists:

What do you guys think? Worth a shot with what I have?

I think it would be fine, if you want to bottle flat beer. Not sure why you would want to bottle flat beer though. You would want to make sure they are stored with a stable temp to avoid pressure changes. Obviously this would not hold carbonated liquid.

Maybe for a mead or wine or applejack. Flat beer doesn't peak my interest but if it does yours, GO FOR IT!

Thanks for the replies so far!

Part of my interest comes from the wax sealing process used in the Speyer Bottle:

So are you planning on putting flat beer in a time capsule?

Hah! I was getting at the general concept in my OP, but I'm doing a fortified wine.
