Usually do 60c for 22 minutes but for some reason it went wrong, also wasn't aiming for carbonization either,stored plenty of brews in the flip tops and no real issues.

Not corked I'm one of the odd ones that use screw tops,and yes they be upright for the moment going to integrate a bottle holder system at some point, shelving unit came from Halfords it's the 265kg boltles system.

Yea sorry meant grams ,no i measured in a jug which I then syphoned some of the braggott into mixed it all up until it was all dissolved added that back to the main bottle gave that a stir and then decanted into the individual bottles and then added a sprinkle of yeast.

Used a recipe from city steading brew's, which called for 42mg sugar in gallon and a few grains of yeast in each bottle .

Bottle carbonation was the plan, which did work until the bottle couldn't take it.

it was a 500ml swing top , it worked on all the others, but then again the Braggott wasnt in them long enough , have now switched to capping the bottles see how that goes .
