Just bottle a kit I made. and I had extreme difficulty in putting the
corks into the bottles. I was re using the bottles I had used before
(after washing & sanitising them & letting them dry). I tried the hand
unit (plastic) that I had used on a previous batch with no problems and
even the new (to me sani brite hand corker). I was using a pack of 9 *
1.5 corks I bought with the kit. Previously I had found that even the
plastic unit was easy to use - I was using the corks that came with my
starter kit (different home brew store though). Any suggestions as to
what I was doing wrong. I soaked the corks in hot water. and even with
all my strength only a few went all the way into the bottle. Should I re
cork the ones that are still "hanging out"

THanks
