Around the bucket
Yes, you put the open one gallon jug in the bottom of the five gallon bucket. This leaves plenty of empty space around it. Then you just pour in your corks around the glass jug. Place the original five gallon tub lid back in place, sealing it or at least keeping it securel down (in case sealing it is too difficult to get it back off).
The corks remain dry, but the fumes permeate the cork over time.
When you need some, take the bucket outside, remove your top (unless you are already in a well ventilated area) and then take out the number of corks you will need for your bottling!
Rotate and replace corks as necessary.
