Is there a specific way to open St. George?? The cork is flush with the top of the bottle and it has some plastic piece on top as though I shouldnt use a cork screw.....

I just pried the wax top off and used a corkscrew.

That's the same with the Jades. If you've got a t-cork, put one of those in afterward.

Is that one of them things my girlfriend uses to re-cork wine??

Probably. You can get them at any brewing supply store in your area.

Ah, yes.. Mine doesnt look like that. It has a hinge thingy on top

*must not make perverted joke*

Is that a La Clandestine t-cork?
My personal favorite is the Eichelberger cork. And it looks great on Jades too.

(just eager to get to post #200)

Honesty.

Man, that's even lower than I'd stoop!

With Fingerpickinblue hitting 900 with that post, that's the funniest thing I've seen all day. Beautiful!

Nice. All these young post hounds.
It reminds me of days gone by.

Yet again.

Well I reckon someone has to do it.......the question was "how to open St. George"....one answer is a question. With so many good absinthes around.



Why?

Here's my 700th just to make a "hat trick" out of this thread.

I haven't been around much lately and it's good to see things haven't changed!

Just what I was thinking!


By the way, CLB and Eich T-corks work fine in other bottles, but you can order a bag of your own for cheap too. That way you don't have to drain one bottle to cork another.

If drinking out of Absomphe-sized glasses I'd expect the "Why?" to be "Why would you have an opened bottle that wasn't empty?"

I'm trying to remember the size of the plastic disc. Would an Ah-So opener be able to get around it?
