    Add Priming Sugar to vino verde???

    The wine is 14 months old and thus has been stabilized and clarified. It's due to be racked but I want to bottle- just need the solution to doctor it up a but. Should I used that package? Thanks!

    Add Priming Sugar to vino verde???

    I have a 6 gal carboy of vinho verde that's about 14 month aged. I've struggled with this as it lacks that lemon zest / slight carbonated feel to pallet. If you've had vinho verde you know that it's meant to be drank young and has a slight zest and mild carbonated feel. NOT MINE! Mentor...

    Carboy weight???

    Looking into shelving for aging carboys from Lowes; but important factor is each shelve's weight capacity. Can anyone tell me how much a 5 and 6 gallon full carboy weighs? Thanks! JS

    Gas Explosion? Help with Suds!

    Racked my wines (fresh juice) from primary to secondary last night (buckets to carboys) topped up and airlocked them. Came home a few hours later only to find suds spraying out the airlocks. This only occurred in 2 carboys- I guess it's gas? Why is this happening, and how do I fix? Thanks!!

    RJ Spagnols High End kits!?! Aging Life....

    That's awesome insight! My wine is aged year round at 60-63 degrees and dark. How do you define "ultra" premium compared to "premium"? And lastly, I just invested in a gas getter- winegasgetter.com, and the inventor told me that by using his device- u can cut aging time down to under a year...
