Thanks for the information. At least now I won’t have to bother my friends to help me lift those damn things anymore!

AJ you use the AiO wine pump With the demijohns? I thought someone said you can’t something about glass being thin. Any problems with using on that ?

That makes more sense. So add Tartaric acid, dissolve it in some wine add to must and mix it up. Sound right ? Taste and check ph ?

Oh oky

Okay thanks for the help. Given the amount of 3 plus grams I don’t see the point in adding right now.

Thanks for the help but I’m don’t think I get it still can you please clarify? g/l is gallons to liters or grams to liters? For example in my case I believe I added about 1 gallon of water 3.785 liters. So to replenish the acid I would need to add?

I did Cab Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Thanks for the input. I was considering adding some Tartaric Acid but don’t know how much to add. My intital ph reading was 3.89 and my post “accident” reading was 3.92 since I added the yeast 2 days ago I have not taken a ph since from what I’m...

Sour_grapes I crushed 612 lbs 17 36lbs lugs , fermentation is active pitched yeast 2 days ago and brix is at 24 today

Salcoco, do you think I need to panic it was a 10lb bag of ice thinking about 1 gallon of water?

Okay thanks

I did something pretty dumb hope it doesn’t ruin my wine. After crushing grapes which I sulfited I decided I was going to wait to add my yeast a few days let them “cold soak”on the skins probably would have been ok since weather has been cool at night here in Long Island Ny. I picked up 12 lb...

I plan on putting some anchors in the garage concrete to secure it that way. I noticed in one of your basement pics you have the same demijohn I have the blue/ grey wicker basket is that one with a spigot? I just picked up a used one and I have no idea if I can be taken out of the basket it has...

Btw love this thread great story Lou

AJmassa5983 I love the idea of that gajillion hole r did you come up with that? You should try and sell that. I noticed your press is on casters? Doesn’t it slide when you crank it? Or do you have locking mechanisms on it.

Here are my crush pictures I took had help from a couple of friends I can’t seem to add the videos.

Thank you

Thanks first time I’m using this kind of fermentor was thinking 15 cases would fit but I might be able to go 17 now.

Mac60 Question for you. How many 36lbs cases of grapes crushed can fit into one of those I’m assuming 350liter / 92 gal fermentation Tub’s?

I did a Cabernet Sauvignon 23% Merlot 31% Sangiovese 31% and Alicante 15% I liked the way it turned out. Was thinking maybe doing equal cab sauv, Merlot, and Sangiovese this year anyone ever try that thoughts?

Hole size is 1 3/8 I messed that up.
