It's only beginning! You need to come by on Sunday and see my Vacuum pump, filter, and auto bottle filler in action. Just add another $ 250 to your toy budget.

I have gone to the 6.5, purple top on the 5-6 gallon carboys and they seem to work better when vacuum racking.

This red had been bulk aging since the end of December. Even after racking twice a ton of lees in the bottom. I think the filter did incredible! The proof will be in the bottle in the next 3-6 months. We tasted this at our club meeting last Sunday, though young you could really see the...

When I did my island mist kit last fall, Black RaspberryMerlot,I bumped the abv to 10.5 and 1/2 f-pac at the beginning and 1/2 at the end. It was sweet but not too overbering. Turned 1/2 into Sangria which turned out muy buneo!

I really could not wait to try my new filter so I filtered a WV Vieux Chateau du Roi which was made with 10 lbs Lodi Cab Skins from this fall. I usually don't filter reds but I had to try out this new set up. When I do filter whites, I rent the Buon Vino Mini Jet Filter Wine filter from the...

Do you have issues with the orange caps sealing properly?

That is a kit I wanted to try..sounds great. Are you going to up the ABV on it?

I saw one over at woody's and thought about trying it myself

We normally do the same thing. At least have a couple of topic about wine making. This last meeting was more about tasting then anything else.

by the way if you had to choose one wine from last night which was your favorite?

Richard: Glad you enjoyed it last night and it was a pleasure meeting your lovely Bride. As much research as youdo along with the time you also spend on this forum your input is going to be very much appreciated. I think someone said you were hosting the June Meeting!? I think by my last...

I soak in Cascade Dish soak in the tub, then use a window paint razor scraper I bought at HD. Easy to hold on to vs. just the razor blade

I saw this on youtube, tried it and appleman is right, does not take a lot of air

I have asked a couple of sediment question here on the forum and I beleive it was Wade that said even after clearing the wine it will continue to drop sediment. I can attest to that. I had a Austrilaina Shiraz that had been racked twice and bulk aging for 4 months. Last week racked it again ran...

Do you need to run K-Meta solution through the new sediment filter before filtering? Or can you just sanitize the housing and hoses and let it rip?

Maybe a huge mistake on my part .Set up the Vacuum pump,auto bottle filler and whole house filter, (5 micron), ready to rack and bottle. I ran K-Meta thru all lines and even the filter housing and filter. This was about 2 hours before usage. Everything was ready to go on my WV Vieux Château Du...

I have used them in 3 kits since march of last year and no one to my knowledge has died.
