I want to wax seal my cider ~60 bottles and don't know how much wax it will need. Somewhere on the commercial wax there is that 5-10g is needed for one bottle, on other site there it comes closer to 20g of it per bottle.
Does anyone have any experience wax sealing to tell me which is more correct?
Thanks
I would use about 1lbs for about 50 bottles, so 5-10g makes sense.
I have previously wax dipped bottles in a commercial brewery. While I don’t have any numbers for you, I should think 5-10g would be plenty.
Some got a thick coat and it was really annoying to open them - had to carve out a groove with a knife before the bottle opener could ‘grab’ the cap.

No, vem to logicky
Zvaž si svíčku, pořádně zapečeť láhev, znova zvaž = máš to.
Já kupuji asi 50g pečetní vosky, normálně z papírnictví, kolem 35-45Kč/ks, je to vosk ale hodně obarvený. Děti s tím zdobí vše možné ...
Nikdy jsem láhev nepečetil, ale dle mne to bude těch 5-10g, protože si nedovedu představit kam by zateklo těch 20g.

Chceš to dělat kvůli estetice ? Aby to vypadalo nóbl ? Včelařský vosk by to neutěsnil ?
PS: děti tu na mne pokřikují, že je mají i u nás v galanterii, zdobí si tím vše možné, i kreslíme na vejce ... tam mají prý i různé barvy
