    Yeah, it has been pretty cold here, except for a day or two, the past 3 weeks or so. Heading out for our morning walk with sub zero temps has not been unusual. Fortunately most mornings we've had little or no wind to deal with. I'm guessing that our WMT brothers and sisters up north and in...

    Can you hunt over bait? I have two neighbors, one to the south of me and one to the north , that feed the deer as "pets". Because of the deer travel back and forth to the feeders, crossing on the west side of my property, my bow hunting is restricted to the east side of my property [Which BTW I...

    Fermenting in Kentucky

    Welcome to the forum! Wine making "troubles" are more often refereed to here at WMT as LEs. [Learning Experiences] :)

    So proportionately we used about the same amount of banana, ~ 5 pounds per gallon. Mine does seem to be improving a bit over time. BTW, gave a bottle to my sister in law about a month back and for whatever reason she tried it as the base for a Pina Colada mix. I tried a couple of sips and...

    Clearing wine in secondary fermenter?

    Is this a kit you're doing?

    Dumb question about bulk aging

    Way to neat! Have you ever been accused of having OCD? :) Ps. I am impressed. I should do more to keep my wine making areas so neat.

    Wow! I would have never thought it'd take that much. Guess this will be both my first and last banana batch. Just now thinking... Did you use/add any water?

    Clearing wine in secondary fermenter?

    I suspect that in spite of your degassing the wine would still have enough CO2 to give off for the 4 days so as not to worry about the head space. Again, at least some WE kits have you clearing for two weeks in a carboy not having been topped off. The RJS kits I do on the other hand have...

    Dumb question about bulk aging

    Arne, I've thought about that. Even about drilling a small hole from 1st floor to basement to shorten the length of hose needed. Problems I see with that is only being able to have your eyes on one carboy at a time and the hassle of cleaning and sanitizing that long length of hose.

    Clearing wine in secondary fermenter?

    The WE kits I've been doing have instructions for doing like you say except the wine sits for two weeks in a carboy (that is not topped off so has head space below the neck). I see absolutely no issues with what you're proposing so long as you lock down that secondary for the four days - even...

    So far I've only made 6 gallon batches... Do you think your recipe would scale well?

    Welcome to the forum> I've got an interest in knowing how your banana wine turns out. I made a 6 gallon batch, using 30 pounds of banana, and am not very happy with the taste. Please keep us updated.

    Can I add clearing agent again?

    Yes, I believe you can. But as posted above wait if you have that option..

    Yeah, like that's fair... Post a picture of a cute puppy. Man, anyone of us could get a gazillion "likes" doing that. This thread title should be amended to add at the end ".. . except cute puppy dogs." :)

    Dumb question about bulk aging

    That six wheeler looks like it would do the trick.... By for now. I'm going to set up a go fund me page. :D

    Dumb question about bulk aging

    My issue is getting the carboy, when ready for bulk aging, form the kitchen/dinning area down into the basement. I've started to hold back one gallon and making two trips down to the basement where I add the 1 gallon back into the carboy. I've been looking for an indoor type hand truck with...

    Clear wine in a week?

    How much time do you wait between the enzyme and the SuperKleer? Thanx.

    Clear wine in a week?

    Yes, I would try the 2 part clarifier again along with a another dose of pectin enzyme. I've had to do this in the past with my peach batches. Funny to me how apple clears so quickly and easily and peach is such a problem child.
