View Full Version : If I use corks, how long until I get mold?

My dearest elderly mother, whose only joy in life is buying little gifts for her children, brought home some decorative bottles for my second season. (I give my product to friends and family.) The tops are coarse-threaded, about 1 1/8" inside diameter. I'm guessing it would be a major pain to try to find the right caps, and I've read previous posts about how corks don't provide a sterile seal. to let's say I humor my mother and use corks. Assuming I bottle hot, how long before I should expect mold? What about if I told recipients to refrigerate--how much shelf time then?

You could wax them.
