I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I cannot mash that
This is the discussion topic for article: Bottling with Champagne Bottles
I used to make honey beer, soem batches came out very like champagne, it would bee suited.Seems like a good idea.
From what I understood, it had fermented and all they needed to do was get the yeast out and chuck a new cork in....
In a year or so I might do a batch of BIG beer that I can bottle in champagne bottles for special occasions.
I wonder where I could get some champagne corks, cages + a corking instrument...?
Doing a special brew in a couple of dozen champagne bottles would be brilliant. Letting it age, hidden away in the dark under-stair area of the house... Only to be discovered a year later! Sounds like a plan. How do you go about obtaining the champagne bottles? I don't drink that much of it compared to brewski's.
Hi All,
You could dip bottle top, with crwn seal attatched, into heated wax. This could protect the crown seal from rusting and also prevent oxygen from leaking under the seal into the beer.
I do this even with standard bottles that I plan to age for more than 9 months. So far- so good.
Cheers
...real Belgians?
Is there a commercial supplier of suitable bottles?
