I've been using a Ferrari Automatic bottle filler for years without problem and love it!

Dragon Blood can made in various flavors and sweetened to taste. The combinations are endless. Here's a link to it,,, https://www.winemakingtalk.com/threads/dangerdaves-dragon-blood-wine.41825/

Just open a bottle of 3+ year old Eclipse Barolo. All I can say it's been well worth the wait. This wine is really coming into its own.

Or you can buy a cheap aquarium heater and use that,,,,,

Another trick is to bottle in amber bottles. I never use clear bottles just for that reason.

I had the same problem when using sparkoloid. Switching to superkleer/Dualfine took care of that problem.

My neighbor ordered 1 too and the same thing happened to his order. They canceled it and said it wasn't available. I pretty much made this kit by the book other then adding a cup of raisins to the primary and tossing in a medium toast oak spiral during bulk ageing. I usually bulk age anywhere...

The amarone kit needs at a minimum 2+ years of age before it starts reaching its potential.

I 2nd Amarone WE Selection International. That's by far my fave winexpert kit. I add a cup of raisins to the primary and a medium toast French oak spiral when bulk aging.

winexpert discontinued that kit. Damn shame because it's been a regular in my cellar for years.

In the primary or when aging? I'm thinking about adding a oak spiral when clearing/aging. Is there a noticeable change in body and taste?

Does anyone have any experience adding oak to this wine? I'm thinking about throwing a medium plus toast French oak spiral in my next batch.

and then there was 4,,,,, :b

Just found out Winexpert discontinued this kit. That sucks!! This kit has been in my yearly rotation for years. On a happier note. My newest addition the cellar.

Cut the leg off a ladies nylon and use that. Stick to a neutral color like nude. Toss it when you are done.

The plan wasn't for mine to last this long. It usually doesn't. I made 24 gallons last summer and we're just now finishing it up.

What's the longest everyone has kept bottled dragon blood before drinking? I have some that's a little over a year old and still good. It is losing some of its sweetness at that age.

Limoncello bottling day. 3 gallons of Italian goodness bottled and ready to drink. Saluti!!!

It settled out after a few days. Yesterday I stabilized and cleared it. Everything appears to be normal.

I'm thinking about adding another to the cellar while it's still available.
