Does the cork expand when you add the solution? Thanks for your help
For both whites and reds, the cork should be dry if possible.
Place the corks in a bucket. In the center of the bucket, place an open jar of about 2 cups of Kmeta solution (3 tblsp to one gallon of water). Seal up the bucket for a couple hours. When you open the bucket, you will have sanitized, dry corks.
You will hear this bucket referred to as - a corkador.
Never boil the corks.
As far as wet, the second best option for a home wine maker is to put the corks in a colander, pour Kmeta solution over them. Shake them well; cover them and let them dry or nearly dry.
