Winexpert™ Eclipse Napa Valley Stag's Leap District Merlot, FTW!

Any pics or more details on the demijohn? Spout? Basket? Etc.? Thanks.

Oooooh boy. I was sorely tempted. Let me know if it doesn't go through.

filtersfast.com is currently out of stock of PD-5-934. Can anyone tell me if the P5 is a legitimate replacement? I know it fits, but it is spun-bond polypropylene vs. thermal-bond of the PD-5. Is this a problem with wine or is it just a shorter life span on the filter?

At that price I'm sorely tempted, but I think I'm going to go for vacuumpumpman's AIO option instead.

Wow, it looks like the fermentation is already done - it's only been a week! Even though the SG showed .995, it was very warm at 78*. I hadn't even put it into a secondary yet, so I transferred it into a carboy to watch the airlock for activity another day before I stabilize it and add the...

Maybe so! Depends how long your lunch goes... I'm planning to get there around 3:30.

I'm heading down tomorrow afternoon myself. Getting a White Merlot for the one empty 'boy I've got at the moment. I've got 2 more pickups scheduled over the next 6 weeks, and the possibility of a another one shaping up.

Since I had to make a yeast starter this time, I nearly forgot about using a slurry from one of my grape wines! I'll have to coordinate a second batch of SP with one of my later batches of fall wine. Hmmm... I'll be doing a Chianti in October - maybe that would work nicely.

I'm gathering that it doesn't need to be hot to enjoy SP. I'll be up to my neck in grape wines when this finishes, but I might heed your advice and start another batch in November. :d

Yes, the suck-back from your airlock will be an issue in the BB, but not the glass carboy. You will have to remove the airlock on the BB in order to pick it up and move it. Having never transported a full BB, I'm not sure how that part will go. Using a milk crate for the BB sounds like a very...

and finally got a batch of SP started! Actually, this past Wednesday I made a starter (from Cran/Raspberry juice), then I prepared the bucket of lemon juice Friday evening, and finally pitched the starter into the lemon must Saturday night. After not seeing any activity Sunday (but giving it...

Ok, I've contacted GwinGryffon and I've arranged to buy the 40 that are now left and bring them back with me to PA. To make the trip worthwhile, I'd like to resell about 25 of them. I'd prefer to make them available to the folks on this forum before I pursue my other options. How many of you...

Aw shucks! Really is too bad that shipping would be more than the carboy itself. I checked UPS, FedEx, and Canada Post for rates. UPS appeared to be the cheapest to me @ around $28. A carboy from Amazon is $30 with free shipping. Are all 50 still available?

I must say that the picture in the directions from morewine.com is worth at least a thousand words. The diagram that was provided in my kit didn't distinguish between my actions and the results of the process - so I assumed I had to put little droplets all over the page! :slp After a seeing...

Ok, I followed those directions almost exactly. HOWEVER, they made one thing much clearer than the directions that came with my kit and now I understand what I did wrong. Thanks! Let me do another one this evening and I'll post those results tomorrow so I can better explain what I did wrong...

No, but a near identical one from The Grape and Granary.

Yes, and I will call them later today to see what they can tell me. I figured I'd start here since everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful and since it would probably help others in the future.
