restructured Equipment
* '''Large format bottles''' - To cork large format bottles (1.5 L and up) without specialized equipment for large format corking, you will have to modify a corking process and/or possibly create some new equipment. MTFers have found that when a bottle does not fit into a corker, the corks can be inserted by compression the cork in a corker and then ejecting it and quickly inserting the cork into the bottle<ref name='MTF Large Format Corking'>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1207333129294899/ MTF Discussion on corking large format bottles]</ref>. Raf has had success with a machined piece of wood and hammering the cork in and then mushrooming with a drill press<ref name='MTF Large Format Corking'/>. Hand corkers may also work but with them it is difficult to control cork depth. Vinnie from Russian River reports mushrooming the corks with 2x4 and his body weight<ref>[http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/post1835/ Vinnie Cilurzo on the Brewing Network 15-Jan-2006]</ref> (1:22:30 in). 75 cl and 150 cl bottle have the same size opening and 3-9 l bottles have a larger, but consistent, opening. Some MTFers have used normal beer corks in large format bottles while others recommend sourcing larger corks<ref name='MTF Large Format Corking'/>.
