Thanks! With the frozen musts is there much concern about them being oxidized if they're 2 or even 3 years old?

Where is the best place to buy frozen must? I checked juicegrape*com and they have decent prices but the shipping is $60. I also looked at Mosti Mondiale but it doesn't look like their juice buckets contain skins. I'm looking for a must that contains grape skins. Not terribly concerned with the...

Young wines in general taste sweet/fruity. Let it age at least 3 months or more then resample it.

How do flex tanks work? I understand there's some sort of membrane on top of the wine. I've looked at their website and youtube and such, I'd like to see a video of how the wine is sealed off from oxygen (like if the tank is 3/4 full)

Dv10 is a good choice.

Do commercial wineries (sometimes) mix yeast strains for a more complex flavor? Or is this typically a no-no? Obviously some do natural fermentation which I would guess has many various strains.

Well it had all settled out. It was by no means cloudy. Just the last bit once I set the racking cane on the bottom.

Ok so I decided to do (6) 1 gallon batches. Although I only wanted to do 4 yeasts this will allow for 6. So I've decided to do DV10 Côtes de blanc (spelling?) QA23 W15 ICV D47 And...? I will do 1 full packet of each variety per container (assuming the yeast packets are all the same weight).

So I used a 1 micron filter on a pinot noir. I kept the racking cane off the bottom of the carboy, I got 28 perfectly clear bottles (the wine had already cleared and settled out) I then put the racking cane on the bottom of the carboy (with sediment tip) ran that through the filter also and got...

I back sweeten to around .998 or so. (2 cups G juice per 6 gallon batch)

Long story short; I'm doing am experiment to see exactly how the yeast type affects flavor. I was going to buy a high end Gewurztraminer kit (my personal favorite). 6 gallons Split the kit into 4 batches to test the 4 yeasts. (1) 3 gallon container: (3) 1 gallon containers. I want all 4 to...

Is there a log or anything that shows the acceptable acid, brix, ph, etc. For each grape varietal?

My Petite Verdot came with two RC212 packets.

So you use it once (or multiple times in the same day) then you toss it?

How are you guys cleaning your filters?

So it's now the 26th and I've been stirring the Pee every day and adding nutrient (a little) almost every day, the heating pad has kept it at a steady 80* and I'm only down to 1.020!

Deuterium water or traditional water?

So you added the clarifier the same day as bottling?

Hmmm fascinating. Wouldn't the would be buoyant and therefore constantly pop the bung out?

Maybe it's Welchs Niagara white grape? Lol
