I have been using wire shelving bottle rack from shelving.com: https://www.shelving.com/14-d-Chrome-Wine-Rack-Wire-Shelves-p/si-wbc-p.htm These are just extra shelves you can add to your shelving unit, or build the entire system from ground up. These guys have many different parts and...

I'm glad you put that out there, Thanks. I also had some left over yeast from last year that I kept in the fridge and was worried that it would not be good anymore. I used it this year and it was as good as first time. It is a Melody yeast from CHr Hansen that needs no sulfate or nutrient and...

Were you able to lift it alone, or did you have a buddy to help? Thanks

Yes, I do use the mash bag and I can remove the basket, but I was afraid that when I lift the bag, the whole thing would collapse and make a big mess Perhaps I should try to do that anyway. Thanks

Hello fellow winemakers I have a 40 liter Speidel bladder pres used first time this season. I have not used one before and it turned out to be a positive experience for me with some exception. I pressed two full baskets and I didn't expect that removing the cake is so difficult and time...

Do you have a More Wine part number? Thanks

Great, it looks like we are up to a good start. I admire and share your enthusiasm in exploring and enjoying the great flavors and aromas wine can bring to a dish. As you mentioned, the possibilities are almost endless: Marinating, brazing, deglazing, adding to hearty stews, reductions, poaching...

Hi fellow Winemakers and fine food lovers, I don't know if there is already a subject like this, I'm kind of new to the forum, but just in case I'm starting a new discussion. I assume that many of you cook or enjoy food cooked with wine, I do too and I would like to start a discussion about the...

It seems to be a very affordable (under $50) solution at a first look. The filters at 8 and 9 dollars are economical only if you use it near its full capacity of 100 gallons at once. If you have less than say 20 gallons to filter, not so much. It may make more sense to go with a more expensive...

I have been using the All in one carboy cover from carboys.net with great satisfaction: https://carboy.net/

Rice_Guy, Thank you for the feedback I'm looking for a filter that would work for carboy transfers and also for bottling. Perhaps the KLR filter is great, but I'm more comfortable investing in a system that uses generic filters, just in case KLR goes out of business. BTW, I contacted KLR a few...

That is great, thank you!

Hi All, I have the same question. Also, anyone tried to used it with a vacuum pump? Thanks

Hello Ajmassa, I can’t access this article, it says: “The publisher chose not to allow downloads for this publication” How did you access it? Thanks

Hello Joeswine, That sounds very appetizing. How do you prepare the duck breast for grilling? Is any marinade involved, skinless or skin on and how do you prevent it from flaring up? I only pan seared duck breast and I made duck confit a few times. Can you also share the blackberry fig sauce...

Hello Balatonwine, Greetings from California, from another Magyar winemaker. At around 30 Euro the AD12 is a very affordable PH meter with decent specs. Even their professional bench top units won’t break your budget. Does this company make SO2 and TA testers also? Cheers!

Hi all, The basic formula used to calculate TA as g/L of tartaric acid is as follows: TA = (Vt * Nt *75)/ Vs Where, Vt: Volume of titrant in mL to acheeve the end point of PH 8.2 Vs: Volume of sample in mL Nt: Titrant concentration in normality 75: Value based on various conversion factors...

Stickman, thank you for the feedback. Before your reply, I just emailed to Marcus from Tilt about this., but you just found the answer, thank you! John

Possible, but I'm not convinced yet. The hydrometer is a wireless Tilt floating in the fermenter all the time, need to monitor closer next time. Thanks John

AJMASSA, It makes sense for SG to increase during maceration, but what about after pressing and yeast addition? I just started fermentation on a Muscat Blanc juice only and initial SG was 1.100 (23.7BRIX) After pitching the yeast, in the first 15 hours SG increased gradually to 1.117 (27.6 BRIX)...
