My bucket full of nectar from the amarone Angels was delivered yesterday! I had thought about calling in sick today to start it, but thought I would be a good girl and begin tomorrow.

Quick question tho, it says to take sterilized cheese cloth and squeeze out all the raisin juice in the carboy. I am assuming I sterilize this cheese cloth like the rest of my equipment??
 
That's right uavwmn. Just use k-meta solution to higher strength for sterilizing. I use the fruit straining bags I get from George. Some folks use paint straining bags. Just clean, rinse and launder the bags after use and you can reuse if in good shape. Just soak them in k-meta before use.

That means mine is on the way too. And so are lots of others to folks on this forum. How about some picts on this one uavwmn so we can see what you are doing?
 
Jack, I have the Amarone in the fermenter as of last night. Once it starts bubbling I will start the pics from that point on.

The juice in the bag is HEAVY for me. So I used my auto siphon thinigie to siphon the juice from the bag to the bucket. Once it was more than 1/2 drained, I poured the rest into the bucket.
No splash, no mess and every drop is in the bucket!!

I am looking forward to you starting yours. We can compare notes!!
 
I think Jack is talking about the Meglioli. That isnt in stock yet, I think George is expecting to be in his store around the 24th.
