#askfedi #homebrewing 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@homebrewing

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.
