Hey all, I have brewed a few meads in the past. I have used capped beer bottles, I have used wine bottles & corks for still mead, and I have most recently used swingtop (flip top, Grolsch-style bottles). All of those seemed to work fine. Do you all have preferences or experiences where one type of bottling works better for you?
TIL, thanks!
Never considered the perspective of actual things growing on/in the corks. Sort of always assumed that, being some type of wood, as long as it’s stored properly (like not in a damp cellar), things growing wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but the issue that remains would be transfer of spoilage microorganisms on the surface.
