Just bought this after getting tired of having to constantly buy small bottles from Morebeer. It's 85% which I plan to dilute to 25% so this should last me a very long time. I haven't used it yet but don't see any reason why it won't work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y1B82TG -Adam

Interested!

You can use a TC reducer. Another off the shelf solution would be to use a sightglass/spool with a cap on one end.

What about something like this? https://www.morebeer.com/products/harvest-adapter.html

The '22 RQ Monastrell kit I ordered has a small hole in the juice bag that leaked a little in the box it came in. There doesn't seem to be a significant loss of concentrate. Would you return it or use it?

Nope! These are what I currently have going now... https://www.morebeer.com/products/rubber-carboy-hood.html https://www.morebeer.com/products/carboy-hood-silicone-breathable.html I only have 2 of the vented ones so if I'm bulk aging more than 2 carboys I'll start using the rubber ones with...

I've grown very fond of the vented/drilled carboy hoods that wrap around the neck of the carboy instead of being inserted into the carboy. They hug the neck tightly and always stay seated regardless of which sanitizer you use, unlike normal bungs.

Let's say you plan on bulk aging in the same glass carboy for about 6 months or so and you added 1/4 tsp kmeta when racking into this carboy. Would you stir in another 1/4 tsp kmeta at the 3 month mark even though you weren't racking at that point? Would you change your strategy depending on...

Appreciate yours and everybody else's thoughts on the matter. My intention with the original post was to get some advice from those that actually rack down and what their method is for Kmeta additions. I've done a couple kits now where I top up with commercial wine but decided that I'd give...

Coming from homebrewing beer I totally understand the dangers of bottle bombs. These growlers are specifically meant to hold carbonated beer so I'd imagine they'd be fine to hold wine with some CO2 in solution from fermentation.

I wouldn't be comfortable, either, with more than 2 weeks of excessive headspace. While I understand the ease of topping up and only using one container, I don't want to do that this time. My goal is to try out racking down to decide which method I prefer. Do you have any opinion on the use...

How long do you leave the headspace eliminator on for and do you pull a vaccum on a regular basis? I transferred from primary to a 6 gallon carboy a few days ago, put the headspace eliminator on, and have attached the AIO pump a few times already... My thought here is that any dissolved CO2...

I've also got the AIO vacuum pump! I'm not too worried about the glass growlers since they are meant to hold carbonated beverages but certainly something to keep in mind. What I'm curious about is how everybody manages the smaller containers with respect to sulfite additions and sediment...

Having done several 6 gallon wine kits so far, each time topping up to 6+ gallons, I'd like to try racking down for this latest forte finer wine kit. In my head I've got a plan that seems ok but I'm hoping to hear how others rack down, specifically how you treat the smaller containers over...

After getting consistently high OG with the finer wine kits, I decided to accurately measure 6 gallons instead of relying on the marking on my bucket. Weighed 6 gallons of water (6 * 8.34 lbs) and sure enough the level is a tad higher than the 6 gallon marking but that's pretty much where...

I'm very interested in your experience with the AIO headspace eliminator. How long have you had a wine under vacuum for and how much headspace was there? You haven't noticed any negative effect to the wine? I actually have a couple of these headspace eliminators but I'm very conflicted on how...

This is my first attempt at winemaking and so far so good!! I pitched the yeast starter into the forte zinfandel kit yesterday and it is sizzlin'... already down to about 1.072 after 36 hours 😮 My plan is to follow the directions to a tee for the first go 'round and see what improvements I...
