I went to a garage sale this summer and bought a slug of brewing related stuff, including a few cases of bottles and a CO2 tank and regulator and some fermenters... Pretty much a bunch of random stuff, but I only paid $20 :rockin: so hey!! why not?
I was cleaning out my beer cave and I noticed that three of the cases of bottles are wine bottles. I don't drink wine, so I'm thinking of putting homebrew in there and hand-painting the bottles to give as Christmas gifts. I did a search and found some incomplete answers to this, but I'd like to nail this down...
1: can I use a regular cork without a cage for beer?
2: will the wine bottles put up with homebrew carbonation pressure, or is that a recipe for bottle bombs?
