Thank you sir! It'll probably be a few months or more before I get around to bottling mine.

How long did you let it sit in the secondary before bottling?

Joe did you add any oak during aging? I'm debating whether to toss in a French Oak Spiral. I'm going to age mine in the carboy at least 6 months before bottling.

I ordered 2 of these, and they due for delivery today. I'm not usually a a fan of white wine, but these looked interesting to say the least.

Been using a bottling bucket for decades with no ill effects. You're fine!

You're good to go! Welcome to your new addiction. Saluti!

Private Reserve Fiero limited edition

I had 2 WE kits delivered yesterday and both had cut outs for the spout.

Got this from them in a email. 😥😥😥

Heat-Shrink Capsule Tool/Bag Decapper. This item is actually two tools in one. It holds heat-shrink PVC neck capsules into place while shrinking them onto the wine bottle. It also allows you to pull those stubborn caps off your wine concentrate bags...

Is the grape pack the same size as previous kits, or did they cheap out on that too?

I've been using them for the past 2 years, in PET carboys with no ill effects. Most all of my wines stay in the carboy for about a year before bottling. I love the fact that I don't have to worry about my air locks going dry. I currently have 8 carboys, at various stages of aging with breathable...

I had a few kits arrive in the same condition over the years. I went ahead and made them with no ill effects. I looked at it as a bonus, I got 2 kits for the price of one..

I've been using aquarium heaters for decades with no ill effects.

Yet another reason I'll be switching to RJ Spanols going forward.

That looks a lot better! I wouldn't be any hurry to bottle. At a minimum, I would give it 3 months in the carboy before bottling. 6-12 months is when I normally bottle.... Leaving it in the carboy will also keep you from drinking it before it's time... Saluti!

That's a lot of head space... I would seriously considering re racking that into a 5 gal carboy... It would require to much volume for me to top up, therefore i would go with a smaller carboy...

That's what I'm asking... I hit mine every 3 months with a dose of k-meta.

Just curious, what's the longest time you aged your wine in a carboy? Personally, I try to bottle after about a year. I use silicone, vented bungs for aging too, so I don't have to worry about my airlocks going dry.

Sure you can, but I don't know why you would??? Using Everclear is the traditional, old world way of making of Limoncello.
