An alternative to the cork stoppers suggested by John would be water bottle caps (the 5 gal
bottles). I use these on my empty carboys when they are sitting with kmeta in them. They seal

good old analog days, my wife would ask me what the temperature was outside and I would say it
was about 15...Posted in thread: Blending Kits on 04-22-2013 at 12:43 PM

blending. I generally make kits that are already blended as opposed to varietals and since my
