Floor corker for Belgian bottles

Post by Greywolf »

I'm getting set up to brew my split batch of Belgian Dubbels. I'm thinking I will want to bottle in traditional Belgian bottles. Does anyone have a floor corker that will handle the Belgian bottles, that they would be willing to loan to me for a weekend... I don't think I will need the corker until July-ish.

No floor corker, but I've used the Belgian style bottles with the plastic corks they sell at B3.

I put a post out like this a little while back and didn't hear back from anyone. You can rent a corker from Steinfillers for $10/day, if it is convenient for you. It's not convenient for me.

Thanks Luke.
I have never been up to Steinfillers... maybe I need to stop by.

Just make sure you have the correct bottles for the plastic corks. They don't fit all bottles. Do some research beforehand if that's the route you go.
