You gotta admit that skit WAS pretty funny...
OK, back to the serious side. Can you [I do] store corks for long periods in a cork-a -dor? Some times mine are in there for 2 months between bottling sessions. Will there be any detrimental side affects? Roy

Well, as was already said:
The corkidore or whatever you want to call it as storage should not harm the corks at all long-term. I think the idea was hatched for long-term storage. I just never bother with it. I keep mine in the original opened packages, zipped up inside Ziplock freezer bags, and give them a quick spritz with kmeta before use. Never had a problem. Your mileage may vary.

I keep mine in a corkidor as well with a lid snapped and sealed between uses. I use a plastic quart milk jug filled with K-Meta in the center of the bucket. After 6-9 months the SO2 will dissipate even with the lid snapped. At that time its time to replace with new Sulfite.
