I am also looking for ideas on storing empty wine bottles. Are you able to keep 60 (12X5) in one of these Menards totes? Would you mind posting a photo? Thanks!

My FWK is showing up today. It is 21F below zero. It will probably be frozen solid. LOL

I live in northern Wisconsin. I have been hesitant about ordering a Finer Wine kit due to weather factors and my travel schedule. I was going to order one last summer (and get the lifetime discount) - but was worried about it sitting on my doorstep in 90 degrees. Now it is below zero and I am...

A lot of good discussion here on purchasing and fermenting the Finer Wine kits. Does anyone have any thoughts on the finished product - vs. other “high end” wine kits that are available? Thanks!!

I bought a small cheap cordless drill that I only use for stirring / degassing wine.

I use the Inkbird ITC-308 for temp control with the sensor probe inside a stainless steel thermowell. I use both a heat pad (brand name "Propagate Pro" under the bucket and a brew belt (Northern Brewer Fermotemp). I use 4 pieces of blue painters tape to tape the brewbelt to the bucket. Been...

We'll put!

Do you rinse before bottling? Thanks!

I am planning to bend two 6 gallon carboys of Cabernet. I don't have any containers larger than about 6 gallons so I am looking for ideas on how to do this with as little oxygen contact as possible. Thanks!

Thank you Richard!!

Great idea!

Thanks! Which regulator are you using? What is a blower? Thanks again!

Thanks! A few questions please: Do you purchase off the shelf argon at the local welding gas supply shop - or? Which regulator are you using - does Amazon still sell it? How do you know when you have introduced enough argon? Is there any other equipment needed?

Thank you! Great article. I am wondering what regulator and other equipment you are using - and where did you get it? Thanks again!

I am looking at starting to use inert gas to help prevent oxidation. If you have any experience with this: - when and where do you use it? - has it been effective? - what type of gas and equipment do you use (bottle gas, cans, regulator, food grade...)? Thank you in advance for your input!

Yes - like the "breaded bowl" - Thanks!

Thanks! Do you use the "corkador" just prior to bottling or do you store your corks long term in the corkador. Thanks again!

Thanks! I've heard that citric acid helps. I'm thinking I would just sanitize the corks immediate prior to bottling. Any thoughts on how long is long enough - or too long? Thanks again!
