I follow recipe, i.e. I add bentonite at start then kiselsol after fermentation and chitosan the day after. After this I bulk age 5-6 month extra. According to recipe you can bottle directly. My thinking is if wine is somewhat cleared itself by time it might be better to add k&c after lets say 6...

I have done several Winexpert kits. The white wines are usually cleared fast and I can bottle directly and get no sediment after storing. My red wines are however usually a different story. I follow recipe and add both bentonite, kiselsol and chitosan, all in quite high quantities compared to...

I think he's referring to a different kit, CS classic. I don't know what oak chips that kit has.

I usually only fill the juice up to 22 liters and then add the grape skins bag. When I remove the bag I squeeze out most of the liquid and I will still have over 23 liters of wine. This will make the wine a bit less watery.

I just got the 2 kits today, did another Amarone 2 months ago. When opening the packages I notice the super tuscan only contains 1 yeast, ec-1118, with expiration march 2023, the Amarone has 2 yeast. Should I only use this yeast or buy another fresh or maybe same 2 yeasts as Amarone, ec-1118 and...

Yeah, I'm not sure if the grapeskin bag are different for some batches. I've seen videos where the skins comes out from the bag in a somewhat smaller firm lump, mine were more juicy and big so may have been more liquid than usual. Anyway wine still is fine so I'll go with what I got and maybe...

S.G. was 1.082 after I added the grape bag, then I added 2/3 pounds of glucose, did not measure it again after I added the sugar. Now after 2 weeks of fermentation S.G. is 0.995. My question is not really about alcohol levels or S.G. but more how adding the grapeskins after I already measured...

I think Oechsle and S.G. is the same type of measurement just different ways of displaying the results e.g. Oechsle 82 = S.G. 1.082 and Oechle -5 = S.G. 0.995. I did follow the instructions, the grapebag prob weighed ~2kg(4 pounds) + 250ml water +300g(2/3 pound) sugar and the bag I discarded...

Hi, my first time trying a winexpert private reserve Amarone kit with grapeskins. According to instructions you should fill up the winebucket to 23l and then add the grapeskin bag + 250ml water. My oeschle were then only at 82 so I added 300g extra dextros. Now oeschle is around -5 so I removed...
