hydraulic corker



I just used my new Italian hydraulic corker last weekend to bottle/cork my lastest batch of mead, a peach melba.  Could it have been easier?  I think not!  I use both regular and champagne corks, as I did both still and sparkling mead and it did a superb job on both.  It worked on even my smallest bottles (187ml) with the aid of a lift and some rubberized shelf liner.   It is a great investment into my mead making supply equipment
.
The hand held corker I got when I first started making mead is now a thing of the past!



 

Yeah, good equipment makes a hobby a real pleasure.

 

Hydraulic!?!  Sounds awesome!  how does it work?  will you post a picture?  I just got a floor corker is it much different? anyway I have a 5 gal batch of mead that I plan on splitting up into 1 gal batches any suggestions?  I was thinking three fruits and two spices.

We had really good luck with pomegranate & fresh ginger.  I mean in separate meads, not together.



 

Orange/tangelo is a big favorite of mine right now.  I wonder what a deep, mysterious, sweet garam masala would taste like? Maybe with some undertones of orange?  Would be good during those dark winter months?

I will see the the boy child will "lend" me his camera (if it still works).  I haven't had any luck posting an avatar, so I am not sure I can do a picture.  I have tried posting an avatar more than a dozen times but it keeps telling me my pic is too big.  It is only 48 x 48 pixels, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

I did it.  I kept making it smaller and smaller, then it finally took it.  tongue
