Awsome.. I bet it is smooth..

I agrees stir and squeeze the thing during the primary....

Welcome to the group.. I too would say get smaller (5 gallon) carboy or top it up with your favorite riesling. this will help prevent oxidation of your new wine.

I have had this with my bottles with no issues.. Just make sure you stand you bottles up for a day or two after you fill your bottles. This will let the cork swell up some. I do use number 9 corks though.

Can we have some pics?

I agree with Noontime, Cleaning your bottles as you use them saves time.. That is what I do so I only have to sanitize before filling..

I agree, No Bleach.. You are better off using a food grade sanitizer for your equipment, and most of them are no rinse products..

Looks like they have'nt made much beer, but if they follow directions it should turn out decent.. Thats a lot of pressure to be under for a homebrewer..

I would leave the sediment in the primary and still rack into the secondary carboy for clearing. The clearing and stabilizing steps are when you are adding you flavoring pack as well. This is also when you are degassing your wine which is very important to getting you wine to clear properly. I...

A root cellar maybe a good idea to get steady cooler temps for fermentation. Its just a idea I don't know what you property is like.

It maybe residue from a violent fermentation since the temps were rather high, but lets see what a few others say.

It depends on the kit you make. Some are better consumed young such as mist kits, and ones such as Big Reds are better off aged for awhile.

If your hydrometer reading have been steady after the last three checks I would go ahead and follow Julies' instructions. I would make sure you give it sufficiant time to clear after stabilizing. If you are going to filter you should let it clear first..

I made a apple wine which I filtered with a minijet, and it still has some thing floating in it. Sometimes no matter how hard you try something will go wrong...

Has it been Stabilized yet? If not all of these steps can be done at the same time. Then allow 2 to 4 weeks to clear before bottling.

Very nice job...

It will degass on its own, but I am not sure of any ill effects..

Yes, Fermentation..Enjoy

Steve is right spend a little more time degassing your wine. If you do not have one purchase a drill mounted degassing tool and degass for 5 minutes and wait a few minutes a degass for a little bit more.

Looks good....
