Default Question about bottle stoppers
I was thinking about trying my hand at doing some bottle stoppers. I thought it would be nice for when we camped with friends so we didn't have to play the "is this beer yours or mine" game.
Since they will be used more then once, should I the silicone, stainless or cork stoppers? Or I'm open for other suggestions. Thanks

Eric

If they are going to be USED and not just for display, i would use something that could be cleaned (not cork).

Why not 'chug the jug' and toss the empties? After your second, you won't care whose beer you're drinking!

(Joking here, of course! One should always recycle the empties, not just toss them...)

Trust me - after the kids are sleeping, they get drank plenty fast. I also am doing them for the novelty, but know they will actually get used - even if just to keep the bees out.
