Agreed Wade !
maybe like this ? ( splits on the right )
In the previous case the target xmas audience is known for big gatherings. ( but in general, this port is definitely a good candidate for splits ... )
And now a PSA....
I was somewhat robotically cleaning the ballisimo splits on the right... ( doing 2 carboys at same time... )
I had received a case of those lovely slender bottles as a gift and was grabbing them out of the case by the neck with left hand, placing them into the palm of my right hand and pressing the bottle down on a faucet attached hot water washer, while listening to my music...
At a point, something happened that caused me to look at a particular bottle as I placed it into my right hand, the bottom of that split was broken off, and I was about to jab the broken bottle into the palm of my right hand....
The bottle was from the corner of the case, and apparently was broken along the way somehow...
( this xmas gift was not from George btw )
( so only eleven of those exist :> )
Moral: carefully check every new bottle into your operation, and focus on task at hand always ....
Happy bottling and gifting !
