I picked up a floor corker yesterday. Today it took over the kitchen while my wife was at work. Got a good start on my sour pipeline. 5 gallons farmhouse cherry, 5 gallons peach, and 2.5 gallons blended. I think I like bottling again, 750s with corks makes it pretty easy.
I prefer not to bend over repeatedly, so I make adjustments to the feng shui. Lifting and carrying those 30Ls when they are nearly full is exciting.
By the way, I tried out corking in a belgian flip top with the flip top removed and I think it will work like a champ. Unfortunately I did that at my LHBS and didn’t take a picture. It works fine though and the cages fit nicely
Actually she’s pretty good about my hobbies. In 2010 she let me use the spare bedroom as a paint booth when I rebuilt my Heritage. Of course I ended up tearing out the carpet and installing Pergo and repainting the room when I was done.
I miss mine. I wrecked it several years ago resulting in a broken femur. Bike was fixed in 2 weeks, my leg took two years. Can’t ride it without getting sweaty and nervous on the highway. I guess I should do a Sturgis run to get over that - but… I don’t want to panic in backwater Oklahoma or Texas and hitch back home.
On that note, if someone wants a 2004 Honda VTX1200C, holler. Needs a carb rebuild. Will make a great deal on it!
I’d take a pic of mine but it is down at brewery, but they look exactly the same. I have an attachment that allows you to transform it to a capper as well.
Do you see two little hooks on the compression part of the corker? That’s where the capper attachment fits. I zoomed in and it looks like they are there. It just latches on. If you have the corker you should just go ahead and get the capper attachment too. It’s pretty nice and will cap any size bottle.
