That's good advice!! I've filtered a couple of times before I bottled and filters were clear and no debre in them but the bottles show it in the bottom. Kinda embarrassing when you give bottles to your friends to try your wine and if looks like you gave them pond water. Hmmm, my next batch will...

It was a wine kit that we used and we went by the instructions and bottled it on day 30 like it said. SG readings were right where they said they were suppose to be. Wine wasn't perfectly clear I didn't think but it was a 30 day kit. It was the first one we tried so now I'll know to just let it...

After bottling my first batch of wine, I have noticed sediment in my wine. I tried to keep the siphon off the bottom and actually threw out sediment after the first racking. I ran it through a paint funnel from Sherwin Williams and a coffee filter into a bucket before I bottled it. When you pick...

I started a wine kit about a week ago and it says after 7 days to rack it to a carboy for another 10 days to continue fermentation before adding the packets of ingredients. I only have one carboy at this time and it has a batch of wine in it clearing as we speak. Would it make any difference to...

I've racked my wine for clearing about 6 days ago and I see its clearing up. I've purchased a second wine kit to start fermenting and I've only got 1 airloc at this time. Do I have to use an airloc on the carboy that's now clearing or can I just use my hole less rubber stopper for a day or so...

Ok, I checked the SG and it was .992 so we racked it to our 6.5 gal glass carboy and got the bung and airloc in it. We have added all the packs of contents and sweeteners and now we wait til it clears and I guess this will take a couple of weeks? Starting SG was 1.094.

It's been 7 days after I started the fermentation and I started it in a bucket. I haven't done a SG reading since I first started so I will do that promptly. Going by the paperwork that came with my wine kit, my SG readings weren't what they said they should be because I added more sugar when I...

This is my first batch of wine that I've made so all this is new to me. My airloc was bubbling about every second for the first 7 days but now it has quit and I still have about 4 days to go before I rack it. Is this common?
