Racked of the Pinot

OilnH20,


Why the moonshine in the airlock? Are you planning to cold stabilize your wine? Just curious.

I read about using vodka, Everclear, cleaning solution, K-meta, water, etc...and figuredI had a good use for something that has been aging for many years! Although Waldo is right...I'm wasting it! I'm not sure if it would fit in at a tasting, but I have two jars, one from North Carolina and one from Kentucky and there is a taste difference -- in "bite" and in the "finish...." (Just in case you were wondering, or if Waldo sees this!)

As for cold stabilization -- I've been reading up on it and haven't yet figured out whether it makes a difference in kit wine, but it appears we have several experts who know the answer to that one! With our tempshere in Montana,I could cold stabilize PRETTY EASILY!

I would venture the Kentucky jar has more "kick ass" to it than the NC version.

Waldo, we'll just have to save them for that day when we can TEST that hypothesis together!
