I beleive he said hydrometer not thermometer

Mcparadigm If you want to make a 6 gallon kit then get a 6 gallon carboy, not 3 gallon these kits are designed to be made 6 gallons, 23 litres, at one time, they have all the ingredients like bentonite, yeast, potassium sulphite, sorbate, and clearing agent, which get added at different stages...

Jdamer I have made a couple of vintners reserve valpolicella kits from wine expert, my wife and I really enjoy it, but as it goes in the world of wine, everybody has a different taste, we also like cab savs and merlots as well, simalar to your tastes, so you may like the valpollicela. I guess...

Teamsterjohn Dont feel bad about making a little mess, I did the same thing when I made my first wine skin kit, it was a RJ Valpolicella kit and I thought I could fill the cheese cloth sac by myself, I got about 1/3 of the jar empty and i had one hell of a mess, I had to call my wife for help...

Wade I want a vacum pump just like yours where can I get one?

gawine I started a cellar classic winnery series australian meritage kit on saturday and it had a foil pak in it as well but it was stamped on it that it was oak

Dugger You will not be dissapointed I thought it was awesome!

Dugger I have a freind that gave me a bottle of that okanagan red meritage this fall and I loved it, I then tried to purchase it from some different wine stores, but there was none avaliable any where, so I did some looking around to see if I could find something that was close to that, and...

Hi Dugger Thanks for the reply, I started this kit this afternoon and was not sure what to do with that spiral, because I have never seen one in a kit before, and it is not mentioned in the instructions, so I elected to leave it out of the primary. Are you making this kit now? if so we will...

Hey Wade I must of had one of those two guys at my house also. I had to run him off, and he was very reluctant to move, he just could not take no for an answer untill I told him where the door was, and if he did not walk out of it, I would personally drag him through it, some people that...

I am getting ready to start this kit, and as I am looking over the instructions, I noticed it has a long spiral peice of oak in it, the instructions do not mention anything in it, other then the oak chips in the bags, my question is do I add this into the primary, the same time as the other oak...

the glass with cloudy wine in it

xaner Do you rinse your carboys with water, after you have had the k-meta in them? because it depends which stage you are in, if it was in the stabilizing and degassing stage, you would not have to worry, but if it was rhe secondary fermentation I would think you would not want any k-meta.

I forgot to mention that this was a 6 week kit and when I added the k-meta it was on the 7th week so it has had more than its needed in that short time frame.

OK I was going to bottle a batch of red wine one day, and a sudden emergency arose just before I started. I had the carboy open and I added a 1/4 teaspoon of pottassium sulphite which I was planning on ageing for a year or two, and was getting ready to bottle, when this took place, I have not...

I bought a cellar classic winnery series kit from the store, and when I got home I opened it up, and found out the grape skin jar had leaked all over inside the box, I emailed RJ spagnols and Lisa Jones replied back and said that she would send a new grape skin jar. I received it within 5 days...

Pardon me Ishould of asked what temperature do you get the wine to to degass?

Wade How long does it usually take to heat up a carboy with a brew belt for the purpose of degassing?

Wade are you saying he should use the brew belt for degassing?
