No more white stuff after 2 months. After reading pretty much it was too soon to be an infection.

On my wish list for sure!

A cheap Hanna meter, i.e. 40$-80$, is as accurate as the 8.50$ eBay meter. You just don't have the brand stamp on it. Accurancy is more important than having 3 digits display. Of course it would be better having a +/-0.01 resolution and accurancy +/-0.01. I'm not still convinced I...

Hello, the release valve included with the AIO pump is more than enough for me. You can release the pressure completely within a split of a second. And we need this to act fast to prevent a mess, it saved me several times. A ball valve will work but not as fast. To be quiet frank that's one of...

Hello, I'm going to try this one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/200941853281?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 8.50USD And bought these solution buffers : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/190887086693?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I have an old hanna but electrode...

Thanks! I guess it's ok for shipment I got a shipping quote. Is there any disadvantage doing the 0.01N HCL and 0.01N Naoh solutions? Accurancy might be an issue... I have a 30g +/- 0.001g scale but the volume measurement is another story. The only source I found for HCL is muriatic acid...

Hello, I'm considering buying the aeration test from morewine. I think buying from many suppliers will cost more. But once I would need to replace reagents I would like to buy locally when I can. Here is what I have in minds : Peroxyde : buying from drugstore like suggested...

Thanks all, I'll wait and repost after it. I'll give it a chance :) Dino, the world is so small Cheers. Yves

I added the extra suggested 1/4 teaspoon potassium metabisulfite before bottling as suggested in the instruction if you'd plan to keep wine more than 6 months... I'm reading pretty much about sulfite and found out white wine has a lower ph so requiring less sulfite... I think winexpert kit...

Hello, I bottled a California Trinity white on 9/29th 2013 and I can taste sulfite. My wife says she can't tell. That's my first wine, I'm wondering if the sulfite taste will fade away with time? If yes, how much before trying again? Thanks! Yves

I did not get good comments about Costco cheaper kit. Taste is different for everyone, let me know how it turns. I'm curious. Cheers, Yves

It includes everything except bottles. 90gr oak chips, 250gr dried grapes, labels, bottle cap, corks and all other regular additives.

yep but dont know how good it is... bulk aging it! Price is really good 23L must (6 gal), 100-105$ shipped and taxes included!

Here is what I do : 1) Fill bottle with hot water trying to avoid splashing water onto label 2) Wait several minutes 3) Peel label only if there is only small amount of glue left on bottle. If it does not peel well, I stop 4) Let water in bottle 5) Fill sink with hot water and oxyclean...

I have just reopened one of my unit to make sure. The 10A is for 277vac. And it's 15A for 125VAC. It's fine for most NA freezer.
