hello everyone,have been reading posts on this site for a while and decided to jump in,great bunch of people...have made some wine in the past, really didnt know how till i read up on this forum ,i have 15 gallons of pinot noir from juice buckets in the demi right now fermenting has finished i believe although it is still bubbling a little through the airlock, i assume this is just gasses escaping? any suggestions on what to add next would be appreciated, thank you everyone..

Welcome to another Ohioan! People are going to think we have a drinking problem here!
I think you mean the SG was at 0.990 and not 0.090. Did you de-gas the wine thoroughly when you racked? Your fermentation could be finished (and at 0.990 sounds like it is) and there could be some residual CO2 trapped in the wine.

Welcome stevo, is that a Regina Pinot Noir. I've made Pinot Noir several times. Really good.
If you degas your wine it will clear faster.

Steve welcome to the forum. You're kinda close to a lot of the members from Butler and Steeler Nation. Love to have you meet up with us sometime when we have a wine party or meet for lunch. A lot of us head over your way to Luva Bella's on Rt 224 just a few miles east of the PA line. They sell a lot of juice and wine supplies.
that sounds great,i got this juice on rt 422 wine makers headquarters in niles,will have to check out luva bella do they sell supplies as well as juice?

Yes they do sell supplies and if you like Better Bottles, they are very reasonable. They also have a web site you can check out their prices.
I've also been to Wine Makers Headquarters up from the Eastwood Mall. They have a nice selection. Another place not too awfully far from you is Leeners (check out their web site) heading up toward Cleveland.
