New corker
My first real wine will be ready to bottle in a couple of weeks. I have my new corker and am doing a practice bottle or two. I'm using 9 x 1 1/2" Nomacorks and a double lever corker with regular 750 ml bottles.
The problem so far is that the cork doesn't completely enter the bottle. About 1/4 inch is sticking up and there's a major round indentation from the corker metal plunger. I was thinking about putting a nickel between the plunger and the cork to prevent the indent and get a longer travel...but before I do something to hurt the new corker (and donate a nickel to the top of every bottle), I thought I would ask for suggestions.
Thoughts? Thanks.
