[Growwine] Unusual topic, but

[Vernon Speer]

Wayne,

I just tie it off, I don't think it matters...at first I put an  
overhand knot in both ends...but that wasted a lot of expensive  
tubing...now I just loop thread around it three or four times and put  
a surgeons knot in...takes about 3 or 4 seconds and I've yet to have  
one fail.

I used to degorge...fill, sugar, yeast, crown cap, lay the bottle  
down for a year, then put point down and shake when I walked by a  
couple of times a day, if that...just too time consuming...chill the  
wine to about 30, freeze the neck in a brine solution, pop the crown,  
blow the plug, re-crown. This seems to be the answer to my  
problem...being lazy...and still liking a good bottle of wine...and  
always doing it a little different...sometimes for the  
better....sometimes for the worse, I've made a lot of marinate in  
these trials. It's still in the works stage, but I think it will  
prove out.

and do you tie off the dialysis tubing with thread as well? fold it?
crimp it?
