Choosing Cork Size

Sorry not cork I meant to say bung.

Depends on what type of corker you have, most who have a hand corker use #8's and if you have a floor corker you would use #9's. And if you plan on aging your wines for a couple of years I would recommend a premium cork

I'm sorry I meant to say bungs.

What's the question? Choose a bung that fits your carboy.

I have some gallon jugs that have a wide mouth.

Measure the mouth, and then look at the bung sizing chart:

It would be best to take the jugs into an LHBS and try a test fitting. That's what I tried to get customers to do when I ran a store. Most of the gallon jugs that I saw took a #6 bung. The large mouthed ones took a #8 bung.

Good luck, Steve
