Adding spices to pumpkin wine

[jkrug]

I have been reading that there is a couple ways to add spices. Either add them directly to the wine or use a tea bag to do it. How would you go about adding the spices to the tea bag and closing it up? When do you recommend adding the spices before or after clearing? I added some during fermentation. I am having rotten egg issues also. May try adding Rudeless i believe it is called. Not sure on the name will look that up again. Any help on the questions is appreciated.

Yes, that is right: Reduless, and it is available at MoreWine!

Far as your spices go, since I have no teabags, I would whine and grovel and ask my bride to sew up a small bag for me. I would make it big enough to tie the end shut or tie it off with tie wraps. Another quick fix would be to find a clean sock, sanatize it, put your spices in, tie the end shut and throw it in the fermenter. Spice flavors should get out no problem. Arne.

Knee high stockings. New ones, I still wash rinse well and sanitize. Cool as you can generally just tie it off in an overhand knot.

Good call, Pam. A friend of mine bought his at the dollar store. Put the fruit or spices or whatever in, tied them off and threw them away when done. He used nylons. Arne.

Thanks for the ideas. Nylons it is

LOL, course now, (can't see a name on your profile,) if you are a guy, you gotta go to the store and buy some nylons. Mite keep an eye on the folks that come crowding around you. Arne.
