Update I had enough wax and it probably took ~5g of the wax mix. I can't find cheap bottle sealing wax so I mixed paraffin, bees wax and linseed oil. If it is good mix I will see in few weeks when the linseed oil oxidises and it will harden a bit. I really don't want to pay 3,5 € / 100g of it when I have enough of some ingredients that hopefully get me close enough to it.

Other thing that didn't worked that well was the tape - it couldn't stick on the wet bottles (condensation from the fridge). So I will have to cut the seal with knife when I want to drink it, bit of an inconvenience and I hope I won't end up with wax in cider

I hope that by giving my cider this premium feel it will have enough time to age because I won't be tempted to drink it that fast ;-)

And yes I had enough of the wax and really don't know how much I used... But I don't know how well my mix will work long term, shouldn't be crumbling when I try to open it but still it will need few weeks to set because I used linseed oil in it.
