Just got a Italian floor corker to day from More Beer. There is oil in the iris where the cork goes. How do I prep the corker? Do I just wip oil off spray with starsan and cork? Any tips

I'd wipe down any part that will touch the cork, or lip of the bottle, with rubbing alcohol, to dissolve the excess oil.

That humidifier is a great idea.
