So after bulk aging my pinot noir for a few months I drew a sample out to get a taste and was overwhelmed by that fantastic smell of sulfur. I ran an accuvine test and it came out right around 110ppm. I knew what probably happened, back when I racked a few weeks ago, I put some sanitizer in a...

Thanks everyone for the replies, I would say the spigot was fairly clean, before the incident, hopefully all will be well, but the secondary fermentation is underway.. sometimes I just get excited and kinda forget to sanitize here and there, but I took a sharpie and drew an arrow pointing at it...

Well I got home from work and decided to measure the SG on my primary batch, 1.003 so I was right in the ballpark to switch from primary fermentation to secondary, so I cleaned and sanitized my carboy and all my equipment, hooked up the hose to the spigot of my fermenting bucket and about...

Okay.. I'll post one last label for entry.. Thanks for the comments on my first two everyone.. I've been a lurker on here for a while and decided to finally sign up and join in!
