Sold

I'm moving and I'm not going to have the space for this hobby anymore.

I hope it's alright to post my eBay listing here, but it seems easiest. https://www.ebay.com/itm/323306664261

I'm moving and getting out of the hobby. I'm looking to sell off everything. (2) 6 gallon Carboys. $20 each Portuguese Floor Corker Wine-Bottle-Corker $25 1 gallon and 1/2 gallon jugs. $2 each Various wine bottles $.25 each Miscellaneous wine making equipment $35 Buckets $5 each...

I made a batch of Dragon Blood a year and a half ago. I had racked it, stabilized it, degassed, and it's been in the carboy ever since. My question is, do you think it's still safe to filter then back sweeten then bottle or is it going to need more kmeta or potassium sorbate? I suppose the...

I recently bottled my wine. After corking the bottles I let them stand for around 18 hours and then laid them down. Now I read that they should stand for 3 or 4 days before being laid down. It was about 4 hours ago that I laid them down. Should I stand them back up or not worry about it?

It was clear. The kmeta and sorbate were both 11 months old from when I bought them. When it finishes fermenting. Should I add the full dose of kmeta and sorbate (fresh stuff)?

Yeah, I did.

This is more of a warning because I'm pretty sure the only thing I can do now is let it finish fermenting. I'm making a batch of dragon blood. After fishing step 4 I got busy and didn't get to step 5 till 5 months later. Luckily I decided to wait two weeks before bottling in case fermentation...

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I am going to age them for a year so I'll go with the 3 grams.

I'm getting ready to bottle my three 6 gallon batches of Carmenere, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon. They have been aging for a year now. I just tested the free SO2 and they all came out to around 3 PPM. I'm not sure if I can trust the results because the kit expired in December. I added a 1/4...

So could I make a weak vodka tasting wine by step feeding ec-1118 to around 18% if I use sugar and yeast nutrient? How about adding yeast energizer? I could run it through a Brita filter to improve the flavor I think.

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to make high proof clean tasting alcohol that has low methanol and is still legal to make.

I was hoping I could test once and make an adjustment to my calculation to compensate for the SO2 that will be bound after adding the Kmeta. I don't have enough test titrets for two tests and these things expire faster then I use them. Sorry I didn't want to make this complicated. I have 3...

What do you suggest I do then?
