There's only one place I can think of that brewsy 5 day wine would be amazing. That place is called Prison.

I'm in Massachusetts. Where are you located?

What are you putting the 5 cc syringe? Is this the one gram of ta? I dont measure TA in the wine but might start now.

I have a kitchen scale but it never occurred to me to use it for TA crystals. Even so how much does everyone start with when making adjustments post fermentation?

How are you guys measuring the TA by gram? How many grams would one teaspoon be vs one tablespoon of TA crystals dissolved in distilled water? Is there a general rule of thumb you all use when adding to a 6 gallon carboy post fermentation? How much is a little to start the adjustments?

Mark 2 keg/carboy washer isn't bad. I like @vacuumpumpman s pressurized bottle washer better. I have both and use both. Straight A cleanser has never failed me in removing tough stains...

$35 for 2 cases is expensive. I've been getting bottles between $9-$13 per case. Also agree if new are used always its way too expensive. I reuse all of my own bottles that I personally use. The ones that are returned to me are something not worth the hassle but if I need bottles then yes I...

People have "returned" bottles to me and in some cases I just put them in the recycle bin. Thanks for the bottles, aka headache of trying to clean out whatever you let grow in there. Ahh no thanks.

Reading all of the comments was like a memory flashback for me. I think I have tried all of these methods for sanitizing. I started with dunking the entire bottles in buckets of sanitizer and then rinsing. Then I had the pressurized bottle washer attachment on the sink. Then I used to use the...

Thats a good catch! I mean I will still buy them and accept them as gifts but bravo on the good catch. It just so happens that I have 2 RJS kits I got for Xmas and low and behold I can see the "style" clear as day now. Thats what you call change blindness. Either way, I will make them, drink...

Wow suicide hill! Haven't heard that in years. I almost went in the crick several times but never did. Lol

I knew someone who like to smoke crack, he warned me about the southern comfort! Lmao!

I used to go sledding at burns golf course! Haha

I never touched that malt liquor again! Lol. You know at that age you get what you can, salute!

Bota Box wine to top off is exactly what I use or whatever is on sale. I did just find these box wines produced from Chateau St. Michelle in Washington State. Not bad at all for top up or sipping.

Wow, I think my first wine was over my grandparents house and they would pour us all some in a shotglass, lol. Then in another life I was an alter boy. One would be the lookout and the other would pound right out of the bottle. We had responsibility of filling the priests little glass jars...

I turned my family seal into a label. LePera (Italy) Next I want to create a label in memory of my father in law who recently passed away suddenly. His garden was absolutely amazing. He handmade 3 arbors for his own garden, ours and his sons. I want use the picture of his garden arbor and call...

@Darkroom I have done this with my aio filter setup. Just filter the ones you are bottling first. Then filter the rest. I dont think it will get clogged. It will still be bulk aged after the fact so worse case just filter again later but you may not have to. You will probably notice some light...

Time will tell, I think I caught it just in time but ya never know what will happen long term. Then again I tend to drink the wine after its a year old. Salute!

I put my wine in the bulkhead to cold stabilize. I use a thermometer to check the temperature but this happened when it was single digits outside. I'm in Massachusetts. Frozen airlock ✔ Airlocks popped off ✔ Chilean Sav Blanc Tasted fine ✔ Chilean Carmenere tbd. Quick taste seemed fine...
