Interesting read, seems to have more information than I needed to know. http://www.nanaimowinemakers.org/Steps/H2S_Issues.htm

I am cleaning bottles to bottle my WE Dolcette later this week. I have a combination of commercial reclaimed "Tall" 750 Bordeaux, Std 750 Bordeaux, and store bought 375's. I noted the bottle brush is very tight in the "TALL" 750's. I normally use #9 for 750's and #8 for the 375"s. Does...

I picked up 3 cases of empties from my high end Italian restaurant source this week end. Many bottles had Polyester labels. Soaking does not do any good, scraping off the labels is not that hard but it leaves a hard glue residue to soak and scrape off. Tonight I tried heating the labels with a...

I am working on a label for my Cru Select California Old Vine Zinfandel. Pic will probably be the Fat Tom Cat in the bathroom sink. I need a OVERLY Pretentious translation of Sam's Man Cave Reserve, (or something better) preferbly in Spanish. I was also considering something like "Fleas of...

My Fertile Mind at Work Again. For this batch I bought Avery 8254 3.3 x 4Color Printing Matte White Labels. In continuation of another thread, I printed out 4 ways. Computer File at Kinko's on their Laser Paper is still my favorite for quality, resolution, brillance of...

Saint Gerty Holy Communion Shiraz. Thanks for the forum input, to understand if it I am the Head Of My Church, I can name the Saints any way I want. To Tepe for printing the labels at Kinkos, these photos don't do justice to the intricate detail; and Ramona for the idea of spraying with...

or maybe it is called bottle racking? I haven't seen anything on clearing problems after wine is bottled. My only batch bottled was the IM Blackberry Cabernet bottled on Feb 8. I got a lot of secondary lees in some of the bottles due to lack of experience, bottling technique, other issues...

How Smiley's are made:

I had several questions on bottling and bottle selection I was planning on posting. Read through old threads; you fine friends are great; every question any one could ever come up with has already been throughly answered. Even the elusive "What the Heck are Punts, and Why are they important?"...

Getting bored watching Must Bubble. Durn, little bugs seemed to have really like the 1/2 F-Pack Addition. I would check the SG, but am afraid the way they are going, they would eat myONLY Hydrometer. So, it was either try to figure out how to use graphic software, or do income tax.

I would like to introduce myself to my new family; hopefully, this one will let me hang around longer than theprevious 5. I have been lurking around since mid Jan learning the art and science of fine wine making from so many great teachers, mentors, experts, and others. I got a complete(?)...
