The suggestion in uwjester's thread(Muad Dib Spice Ale) to use blue bottles got me thinking about using some. Last homebrew club a guy was sharing a five year old belgian strong dark he made, and was pouring from a normal burgundy style wine bottle that had been corked with a normal cork(no champagne cork) and waxed. He only said that the wax kept the beer from getting oxidized(?). I would have thought a normal botle couldn't hold the pressure. I decided to go a little lower on the carb level, style-wise that's fine. Its a Sour Cherry Old Ale that's very deep red in color. The bottles look better in person, when not in direct light they look almost black. The red wax also looks darker, less cherry. Got any good Dune themed names for it? (The small bottle is for reference -Roch 8/10 bottle)
