Corkers

Post by Jam095 » Wed Oct 22, 2014 8:26 pm

I am interested in a corker that will cork both Belgians and wine bottles. So far, the only one I'm finding is the Colonna corker. Has anyone tried this one, or have a suggestion?

Northern brewer says the Portuguese Floor Corker works with both 750ml belgian bottles and 1.5l wine bottles. I dont have any experience with this though.

I have a Colonna Capper/Corker. It works well. My only complaint is that it's kind of hard to switch out the cap/cork attachments.

I think this is the one I bought

When I cork the short lambic bottles, I just put a phone book under the bottle to extend the height. I'm a redneck genius like that.

Ok, so I found the Colonna at Ritebrew.com for $50. That's what I'm going with. Thanks for the help guys
