Oak chips or dust during primary fermentation. You don't stabilize your wine until you're ready to bottle so it would be too late to add it then. Oak Spirals after racking off complete fermentation and beginning the aging process.

At the $300 price I would love one for at home.Nobody wants left over screw cap bottles, so they should be easy to collect. I would switch over in a heartbeat.

Yup and I got another "My dear Brother" again this morning. I am not surprised on the shipping fee from over seas. That's why they always want you to buy an entire container load when possible. That's what I do when purchasing Australian juice.

I left a message on Alibaba and this guy won't leave me alone now. Emails everyday. Maybe that's good customer service or....? This is his last message: Hi Daniel, My dear brother, how are you ? This is Bill Smith, did you check my last email ? Regarding this screw capper, CIF New York Port is...

Planting a Honey Crisp and Red Delicious Apple Trees I got at Tractor Supply. They have nice trees on sale right now for $19.00 . These will complement all the other apple and pear trees I planted. Hoping to have a nice productive orchard by the time I retire some day for wine and cider making...

I would say no. There are way too many of them. You have a number of national and international competitions and then there are tons of them locally around the country. Within just 40 miles of my house there are at least five every year. When I was entering I prefered the local competitions that...

Welcome aboard.

Without any way of testing your wine add the 1/4 teaspoon.

Yes only use them once.

For 300 I wouldn't mind one at home. I would jump on it in a heartbeat but I'm sure the shipping would kill me. Plus I would like to see a you tube video of it working. It seams like there might be something missing on the head. Is that extra? I have seriously looked into these for commercial...

It's just masking tape on te front of the barrel with the information written on it with a sharpie. If you have that must moisture I would be running a fan or dehumidifier or you're going to be getting mold growing on your barrels. I am not suggesting you do that all year long but during the...

If your heater got hot enough to do that kind of damage to the bucket there is no way I would put it in my wine. It gets way too hot.It should only get warm not hot.

Anxious to follow your journey!

Marathon, If you're used to drinking mediocre wine keep making it the way you always have been. If you want to improve the quality and longevity of your wine pay attention to some of the new ways and why they do it. I want to make the best I can in the most convenient way possible. Doing...

The easiest way to go is to buy a bottle tree. They take up less space and are more convenient.

LMAO I have to share that one

I would not paint it. You think it looks bad now, wait till you stain a painted floor. Plus, once you paint it you'll have to keep it up. It wears off and sometimes peeling is an issue. I would just try using an acid based cleaner to clean it best you can. Make sure yourinse it good so it...

Lets think about this. A three dollar chemical or a good batch of wine. I'd throw the super klere out and buy some more.

Could you smell burnt plastic. Was the burnt mark above the wine level? If the burnt mark was above the wine level and no plastic went in the wine you should be ok. If it was below the surface your wine may have picked up some of the smell as Julie said. I also agree with her, rarely have I had...

Julie, I wonder if she meant 1.10? I have never made one of these have you Julie or anyone you know? I was just wondering how they turn out vs. a kit.
