I have a bunch of #9 X 1 3/4" corks coming into the shop next week if anybody needs corks!!
I sell about 60,000 bottle caps every couple months so i am gonna start pushing corks like a crack dealer now also!!

#9 corks are great, especially the 1 3/4 length ones.

I boil a pan of water, let it cool to about a 100 degrees, throw in 1 crushed campden tablet. Stir it in, then add my corks. Cover and let them soak for 15 to 30 minues while I am bottling. I pull them out one at a time as I cork my bottles.
