Strawberry/Banana bottled finally!

19 bottles total. Sorry pic is sideways. Couldn’t get it to rotate sitting at about 16% abv, but smooth as silk

That happens to me when using my iPhone and selecting less than full size. Try editing it first, like just crop it slightly. That works for me.

Oh, yah, looks beautiful. Nice!

Thanks for the info @KCCam. Also to note, I had a screw top bottle fail on me while corking. I used a micro corker with rubber mallet. I knew the dangers of corking a screw top when I started and broke the first one. Get a feel for cork top bottles before you cork a screw top. I felt the screw top shatter on the last swing. Nothing worse than dumping a fresh bottle because you didn’t heed the advice of others. I managed to salvage my broken bottle with coffee filters but some may not be as lucky. Live and learn

Point taken about the screw tops. I see some of the bottles in your picture are screw tops. At first I didn't know better. Now I do, so I am more careful with my floor corker, and never give them away as gifts. I don’t mind wasting a bottle of wine, but I would hate to be the cause of injury to someone, or to myself.

yep i got a friend that's catholic, told me he could bring me lots of bottles, that's when i learnt the difference between a 28mm screw top and a commercial sleavens screw top, the sleavens require a machine to guarantee a proper seal, 28 mm screw top you use 28mm polycone lids i have a couple three cases , but the caps get expensive,
