Reusing Chimay Bottles (750 ml)

[Norcs]

Anyone has any experience reusing these ?

I though perhaps using the following from craftbrewer http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=3570 and http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=3571 but I think they have been out of stock for an age now.

I wouldnt think there would be any type of cap that would fit properly and I cant seem to find anyone who sells corks to fit,

corks and cages work well. ive got a thread on recorking them somewhere.
no caps will fit them as they are a rounded top.

Can you recall where and what type of corks you used ? Did you need to use a corking tool of some sort ?

i use a floor corker from grape and grain.
the last lot i got from craftbrewer, guess im one of the reasons they are out of stock. but before that got them from morebeer.
the ones i use are the ones you linked.

Thanks Barls .... also found this one from you http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/15457-ahb-wiki-bottling-with-champagne-bottles/?p=501077 advanced search is far more helpful than the default.
