Let me begin this with a Welcome to the Forum. Should have said that earlier. I just loosely lay the lid on top of the primary. I have never had a problem with overflow. I also have plenty of room between top of must and rim of bucket. ONE time I had an eruption in a carboy. Cant...

^^^ Same Here.

Nice work, Very professional.

I have used the boiling water method with my finger and it works great! I have a heat gun but never tried it. I guess im a little backwards!!!

As a rule of thumb... I generally add one cup of sugar per gallon to a dry wine and it ends up about 1.010. This is a nice acceptable level for the folks and my house and friends. We are not dry wine folks. Maybe one day my taste will develop? To answer one question Potassium Sorbate will...

Hey Bud, Bartlett, TN here. What are you doing? Setting up a trellis for some muscadines??

One is made from Female grapes and the other from the Male variety. :::) BTW Nice labels!!

Looks like its been 3, nearly 4 months now. Any news to report?

Liteweight.... Is this an advertised special? I have a friend wanting to get into this and that would be a great savings for him. Thanks, Don UPDATE.... I did find the sale. It uses a coupon code at checkout of "brewnow". This sale is for the BEER making Deluxe kit. It...

First of all, Welcome! You should be fine as long as you have it under airlock.

Update....:u I bottled a small batch of wine yesterday. Using synthetic corks and soaking them in sanitizer prior to insertion. First few did not go in all the way. Then I increased the speed of inserting and the rest all went right in as they should. I think I was just pushing down the...

Nice Tip. Thanks,

Hope you enjoy your visit to our area. If free on a Sunday afternoon, you may want to check out Old Millington Winery near Millington. They have live music from around 3-6 each Sunday in the Summer. If not it is still worth the Visit. Perry is a nice guy. We also enjoy the wines from...

This goes a bit against advice.... BUT, I did a Cornucopia Tropical Reisling from Amazon dot com ($48.00 or a 30 bottle kit incl. shipping). My SWMBO really likes it. Ordered another and may try some of the tweak by adding part of the Fpack into the primary to boost the starting SG, and...

You can always stabilize with Sorbate, add K-Meta then back sweeten with a simple syrup of sugar disolved in water. Test it in small amounts and be careful not to oversweeten.

I talked to a small local winery. He has music on Sundays and asks folks to recycle bottles. I get all I want from him. It saves him hauling them to the recycling center!!! He also said he would sell me new bottles for $12.00 per dozen. Makes me wonder if its worth it to clean and...

I would. As asked, Is it 100% pure? As in no sorbates etc.

Is there any problem using Brass vs plastic fittings to rack wine? I have some brass fittings already. I see others talk about using Plastic elbows etc. Is that just a cost thing? TIA, Don

On this note. If you dont have a brew belt.... What is a good way to raise the temp to 75 Degs? Any home fixes out there?
