I agree 5 0z per gallon... Then allow to carbonate at room temp for atleast 2 weeks..

Very nice... Looks like its ready to bottle soon.. Good job!

This talk about Mead makes me want some..

As long as your temps are even I don't see a problem with it.. It should be OK.. It may need longer than that anyway.

I agree check your LHBS and see what they are wanting for botlles. I found sometimes they are not that high priced. It is easier sometimes than cleaning used bottles..

Wow.. We need to be more careful about the products we buy.. We lost our Dalmation to bad chinese dogfood..

I too have used benonite with success too.. It also included in most kits aswell..

Don't rush your wine making. Follow your kit or recipie timelines as cloe as you can, and things will turn out good.. I dont mean forget you hydrometer, but longer clearing times will help you wines quality.

Make sure your wine is warm when you degass, it will degass easier.

Are you making cider or wine? After I made took mine out of the secondary, I bottled it with priming sugar and aged a couple of months. It was a very nice dry cider when I tried it. I used the cider recipie in the purple wine making handbook..

Follow Deezil's instructions and you will have nothing to worry about.

I agree bentonite will help, and maybe super kleer later on.

It will be a learning experiance for us all. It will be cool to hear how they turn out, let us know.

I second DirtyDawg10's comment..use a degassing tool on a battery drill, and it will not take you very long.

As long as you temps were decent for fermentation and you get 3 to 4 of the same readings in a row it could be done. Like Deezil said all wines are different.

It does happen..I did a apple like RunningWolf did. We went thought all the steps and still had sediment in the bottles. It is your wine if it doesn't bother you enjoy it anyway. Dave

We are expecting high winds and rain in WV. There is also a rumor of possible snow as well. I know they are susposed to get it in the mountains, but I am not sure about here.. We have plenty of supplies to get by with till this thing has passed..

That is exactly what we did..filled up our 4 carboys in case the power goes out. Got some fuel for the generator and some extra food. If we get stuck in the house we have plenty of wine to drink if we run out of water..lol

I use a mini jet filter and it work pretty good. The time and resourses it takes to build a filter, you might aswell buy one..

That is true..Bubbling is not required for fernentaion. Keep a eye on your hydrometer readings. If they are going down you still fermenting. When you get 2 to 3 of the same readings then fermentation is complete.
