I have a mish mosh of various types of both bordeaux and burgundy style bottles from various wineries and vendors that I use with my ferrari floor corker -- and I occasionally run across a bottle that doesn't get the #9 nomacorc in as much as the majority of the rest of the bottles do --...

Amen! ✌️✌️✌️

ok...keep me posted. The TR313 was my priority -- but trying Bravo vs Avante would be fun ;-)

any TR313 and/or Bravo 50g paks left...you're looking to get rid of? Cheers!

When making a starter...how long till pitching it in the juice is the sweet spot?

Finally started my 1st FWK Blackberry this morning using Avante - OG=1.092. Juice has been in fridge since late Dec...awaiting its turn. Sure smells awesome from the git go :-) Cheers!
