SUPERKLEER, IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO. WHY, BECAUSE IT IS SIMPLE AND IT WORKS, IT ALSO IS CHEAP. Richard L.

Love to but as said before, too far. I'm in Bellmawr, NJ. Near Phila. Richard L.

I use a 5 and a 1. Only use twice if I am racking two wines on the same day. Otherwise, they are cheap enough to be used only one time. (http://www.micronfiltercartridges.com/filters.html) I use the string filters. Never had a problem. Richard L.

Of course I liked you, I have always liked you. Richard L.

What Dan said.

I have used regular caps with twist off. Not a problem, but I do prefer to use non twist off. I only have a hand capper. Richard L.

Lookin good. I might have dipped the bottle into the hot rice. I use a heat gun on low, but I don't put any caps on until I'm ready to gift the bottle. My wine rack is full of uncapped bottles. Richard L.

I use 3-4 oz per 5 gallons for mouth feel. It is not enough for me to taste sweetness, it does improve body. I would use no more than 4 oz. per 5 gal. Richard L.

Can you use it to get the temp of wine in a carboy? Richard L.

To dry, I use the compressor to shot a cotton ball through. Sometime I wet the cotton with alcohol first.

That's about what I paid for mine. Richard L.

My Harbor Freight pump is oil lubed. My wife or I have never smelled or seen oil. The pump is great and will easily pull 28 inches which I never do. One time when bottling with it, I allowed wine to get into the pump through the vacuum side. My big error. I changed the oil and have had no...

I got my whole house filter at home depot a couple years ago. I filter first with a 5 micron filter and before bottling I use a 1 micron filter. I use the cheap string filters and toss after use. I froze a used filter one time but had bad feelings about reusing it so I never did it again. I...

Julie, how much per gal. please? Or, is that 7 oz per gal? Thanks, Richard L.

FTC, From your post, you put the bananas in the primary. I've done it after racking a couple of times. How much banana do you use. I get a little taste of banana sometime when I don't want it, Maybe in the primary that won't happen. How many do you use and do you use real ripe ones like me.

I use the compressor to shoot cotton balls thru the tubing.

I never heard of boiling oak. Am I the only one?
