Got my order in from Stoney Creek. Amazing quality. I'm really impressed

Good catch! It's fixed. Wow that would have been upsetting. I've literally read this thing 20 times and other people have too

Ordering these up for my Nebbiolo

Simple threads. They grow up so quickly. Makes me proud to see how far it's come. Awesome input everyone

I originally discovered them up near Fair Hill in Maryland. The Fair Hill Inn used to serve their wine. We had the Nebbiolo and I decided immediately that a vacation to barboursville was in-order. Left with a couple cases.

So we're now in MLF. I ended up with 3.5 gallons of Nebbiolo. I have one 3 gallon carboy to the brim and a single one-gallon jug that is half marble/half wine. I dropped in two light American oak sticks into the 3 gallon carboy and left the 1 gallon alone. So far this is phenomenal. It's brand...

Will do. It should be arriving saturday. I was just emailed an hour or so ago.

I'm dying for some Tempranillo. Not available anywhere yet. I'm in that space after putting a wine into MLF and having nothing to do. So I'm antsy. Ordered some Mourvedre from wine grapes direct

Check amazon for any parts that are out of stock. Use the same part numbers. Can't answer the other questions

Using a little basement science. with an airlock in (of course) I gave the carboy a bit of a gentle shake/stir to get some of the gas in the wine flowing out, had the airlock pumping for about a minute or so, hoping I forced some of the oxygen out

So I racked and pressed today into a glass carboy. I've got several inches of headspace. Ended up with about 3.5 or so gallons of wine. I have some marbles on order for delivery tomorrow, and a smaller carboy on saturday if needed. too much to add a like-wine to it. Is 24-48 hours with a 5...

Same here when I went. I read reviews of the stuff prior and they all said to ignore the in-store assembled display. They were right. Looked like they hired hellen keller to assemble it

That's an excellent workspace @mainshipfred , looks great. @sour_grapes I've seen those. They are hilarious and accurate. No way I'd ever get much out of that place except something like this. I woke up thinking about getting some kind of bench or solution and first thing I saw when I opened my...

Thanks, everything seems normal in the must. The temp in the must didnt get above 75 (that I saw) and prior to that was fermenting at 68-70. Room temperature down there is like 68-70

5 gallons. Directions on the Fermax say to add 1 to 1.5 teaspoons per gallon of must

Are you US based? Real question is will grapemasters ship to the US? I've seriously been looking for some tempranillo EDIT: Disregard. It's plain and clear on their website

Background: 2013 Nebbiolo crushed grapes in fermentation using BM 4x4 yeast. Starting Brix were 23, today (day 5) we're at 5.5 Brix, averaging 3.5 brix a day. Fermentation was slow to start, but I took a reading every day but day 2. Once it hit 15 brix reading, or about 1/3 of the way through...

Have or can you notice a difference in the product from a juice bucket vs one from a bucket of crushed grapes? I've read in some places that the juice buckets could have less of a body

Its got a slick coat of black paint on it from the factory. Wouldnt exactly call it non-porous, just because i'm sure it was cheepy quick spray, but it cleans up well and I've tested it a bit today. Sprayed a section down with sanitizer for setting my hydrometer down real quick. no real issues...

Perfect timing. Just punched the cap. Procedure for me is as follows: spray sanitizer around edge of bucket (for fold over bag) Pop lid punch Put bag back in Close Pics are just upon opening, pre-punch and post punch. I tested brix today and if mid-fermentation taste is any qualifier this is...
