Just tossing my thumbs up to the AllInOnWinePump. I bought mine a month or more ago before your price increase. Finally got to use it this weekend when I was racking a 6 Gallon batch of a White Coconut Frascati and a 1 Gallon Batch of Blueberry Pom. Worked like a charm! *cough* Once I put...

You made me pull the trigger after hemming and hawing for 6 months + So everyone sure likes these things I'm going to try one out!! Merry Late Christmas-Me!

Yes I did. I believe I may have also done it once after 3 months of aging. I'd have to check my notes at home after work.

My Strawberry wine had been coming along great (1 Gallon Batch). Fermentation, racked, clearing,etc all perfect. Added the F-Pac (Juice only - No Pulp) Per the F-Pac page that's online here. Backsweentened. After about 1 month or so I noticed his cloudy substance at bottom that seems...

Greetings All! I need some help. My lone vine of Concord Grapes are perfectly sweet to taste and ready to be picked. It is a real shame the yield is only about 25% of normal due to the weather! My problem is I need help with a good recipe. I'm trying to get some clear answers on do I...

Liked On Facebook!!

Interesting. Definately things to learn for the future. Adding lemon concentrate after sorbating would certainly explain why I had to add extra sugar. I just added a simple syrup per the recipe. Maybe if there there's time to degas this guy and get another batch going I'll get that...

I used the recipe right off SkeeterPee.Com Yes I added KMeta. I didn't stir it at all during fermentation. I did stir it with my mixer when adding the sugar or the recipe said to vigorously mix it. (All per recipe) I degassed it this way by mixing too. What does stirring during...

Greetings All In my young wine making hobby so far I've made one kit and a gallon of Cherry / Pom from concentrate (still aging) and a 5 gallon Skeeter Pee batch with the Cherry / Pom slurry. The SP fermented dry Feb 3rd (SG .996) and Racked Feb 18th backsweetened and added a 1/2 can of...

Welcome fellow Michigandar!

Ah thanks. Bit pricey for my volume. I think I'll stick with aging it in the corked bottles.

Happened to be reading and had a question about what your reply said. When you say "...check sulfite levels about every 3-4 months..." How does one actually check the sulfite levels?

Yes the Potassium Sorbate is on my list to add when sweetening. Forgot to type it out. Should be about 1/2 tsp I think. I've got one of those drill mounted mixers for degassing. But right, with a one gallon it might be easier with the shaking method as you say. The "Stir now and then??"...

Greetings All! I have a couple questions, at the end of this post, but thought I'd say what I've done so far. After finishing my first Kit I decided to make a small batch of something just so I didn't screw it up. Based on the wife's tastebuds I chose to do the following: 1 Gallon...

Thanks for the information. I've got a 1L screw cap bottle sitting aging now. Maybe I'll try the jam trick and let it age that way. Sounds great though!
