Never dump it. Now is a good time to taste it.

Charlie, what you say makes sense and I understand your thoughts, however, if you go to the carboys too early, you will run into fermentation that is too heavy for the bottle and it will overflow into your lock and wherever else. Your choice. :b

There has to be a lid. :b

Hair spray works. :B

How did you run the tape thru the printer? Maybe put it on waxed paper? If I could get it thru the printer, I would use it exclusively. :b

My friend Joe. Uses olive oil. His wine is always oxidised.

Neat, very very neat. Good luck with it Dan. Rich L.

Probably a good pump, but verrry expensive.

Dan, I'd like to see more. I use a home made bottle filler that uses a 2 holed bung and a T on which I use my finger to control the height. I don't understand how the height of the overflow effects the height in the bottle. I wasn't able to see the video. Thanks, Rich L.

Good score, you win.

My vote is for the whole house filter and vac. pump. I've had the mini and got rid of it. Now I use the pump to filter, rack & bottle. Like the man said, "never lift a full carboy again". :b

Joe, Sunday I will probably rack one 5 gal carboy into gallons. I'll use the zest from each of an orange, lemon, & grapefruit. I'm not sure about how much to use for each gallon but if I use too much, I'll have enough to blend it. I'm glad you reminded me at exactly the right time. See ya on...

Joe, what a great thread. You reminded me of most of what I forgot from our meeting. I had planned on using zest and then put it aside. Now I have 2 carboys of Chilean Chianti from May of 2010. One is oaked the other was started with raisins. I'll put the oaked one into gal jugs and add a...

I never allow a carboy to touch concrete. If I must put it down on the floor, a piece of wood goes down first. "b

I got my nail gun at Home Depot too. Brads and finish nails up to 2 1/2 inches, money well spent. The compressed air is always good to have. I also use it to shoot cotton balls thru tubing. :b

Very nice rack. I started a small rack 2 years ago, added to it last year and will again this year. It never ends.

If I remember corrrectly, 29 inches of mercury is the max. Once you have a vacumn, there ain't no more. In outer space it is 29 point something. As to degassing, I've been using a vac pump to rack for about 2 years now. The one thing I learned is that you no longer need to degass. I rack...

I would drink it just to be certain that it is safe to drink. LOL :b

Welcome to the forum. Is there any chance that we can have Leeners move to S. Jersey? :b

It's OK, just a little added protein. If it was doing the backstrock, your in trouble, otherwise, no problem. Just listen to Wolfman Dan.
