    Left on Gross Lees - Too Late?

    I forgot to rack my cab franc and cab sauvignon off the gross lees after MLF was complete. Fast forward a few weeks and they smell as awful as you can imagine. I used Renaissance yeast which doesn’t produce H2S, so I guess I got over confident and didn’t check. Any hopes in getting rid of the...

    Ascorbic acid removal from finished wine

    I have a 6 gallon batch of Merlot made from grapes, last year. The fermentation was difficult and, for some reason, I ended up with H2S in this wine. I splashed racked it, I treated it with Reduless and I thought that the problem was resolved. The wine completed MLF in the spring, I racked it a...

    Ooo-ooo that smell! Can you smell that smell?

    Apologies to Lynard Skynard. Caught a subtle wiff of H2S in my fermented/MLF-completed wine. Subtle, but it's there. Need suggestion(s) for next steps, from simple to more aggressive remediation. I have yet to rack the wine post-MLF. I had a surgery that prohibits me from lifting my carboys...

    So I'm making some Strawberry wine with 71b and I've ended up with some H2S. It's very noticeable, albeit a lot better with a splashy racking. I'm sure that I can fix it with a few more of these, but I'm also sure that I'll oxidize the heck out of my wine in doing this. Would it be possible to...

    H2S 2018 Lodi Cab

    Hello, my first time posting here so forgive me if I miss something. Currently working with a batch of California cab sauvignon, ran into an H2S problem. Splash racked it 2 times and after fumigating the house with sulfur and letting it stand for a week did have noticeable improvement but still...

    Do I have a Hydrogen Sulphite problem?

    Hi Guys, I am new to winemaking and I really hope you can help me. I started on a ''Wine Expert Zinfandel Eclipse'' 10 days ago and after I racked the wine from my primary fermenter (closed bucket with airlock) to my secondary fermenter (PET carboy with airlock 6 gallons) everything seemed...
