Review on ๐Ÿพ Pack of 30 FastRack Home Brew Ohio #8 Straight Corks, Multi-size: 7/8" x 1-3/4 by Amanda Stevenson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best use for young wine in bottling and capping

I use these #8 corks on my home made wine which is meant to be drunk 'young' as the age or flavor does not change change noticeably over time. They fit my bottles very well, they don't leak. I would use a #9 cork on the same bottle if making a wine that needs to be aged over 1 year to be optimal as ambient temperature expands and contracts. Corks, you want a tighter closure than a #8 cork. Since the fit is tight, even with a #8 cork, I boil them in water and then pop them in with a double lever cork to seal my bottles more easily.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • Available in white only
