I finally figured out a way to make a cork humidor large enough to store all my corks. Last year I bought 1000 custom corks from Georgeand have been keeping them in the original bag and taking out what I need and rinsing them before bottling. We all knowthat soaking your corks is bad and handling them excessively is also not good due to the coating that is added to help prevent them from sticking in the bottle.
I looked for aairtight container large to hold my corks but was unsuccessful but the light bulb went off one day and this is what I came up with.I bought a plastic tub with coverand alarge plastic drum liner that is usedto packaged bulk pharmaceuticals.I placed the liner inside the tub and put a 2 gal bucket inside. The bucket has a gallon ofsanitizing strength Na-metain it with holes drilled in the lid to allow the vapors to fill the liner and protect my corks and keep them ready to use at anytime.
A good twist of the liner and tie off and it should provide the same result as if it was done in a airtight container.
