So I have my first large batch of mead bulk aging in the carboy (1.098OG, 1.008FG) having recently been bit wth the mead making bug...
In order to keep things separate, and also allow for longer aging, I am planning on using wine bottles for all of my mead batches (greater than 1 gallon) from here on out.
I am in the process of building a wine cube for these bottles, so the size would have to be 750mL.
The question is:
Which wine bottles to use?
What style/color is recommended?
What corks to use for long term aging?
I tried searching (while on a tele-con here at work) but with splitting my brain power i couldn't find anything too worthwhile.
