    All the Best!

    I have (so far) only dealt with one vender on this forum. It was a pleasure. The knowledge of product and the friendly, efficient service were excellent.

    Ok... Im wanting a all in one pump!!!

    Millwright01. Don't hold back on the All-in-one pump. He ships to Canada via USPS. There are no brokerage fees if it comes via post. In fact, Customs didn't even charge me HST. Brian

    Ok... Im wanting a all in one pump!!!

    Yes. I still don't understand the brokerage fees and what they actually are. If you use the postal service there are no fees. So, what service is one getting when you have to pay brokerage?

    Ok... Im wanting a all in one pump!!!

    Available in Canada? Has any one of the Canadian members ordered the parts from Filters Fast in the US? Or has anyone found the same parts from a suplier in Canada? I would like to complete my setup and add the whole house filter to my All-in-one vaccum pump. However, I see that Filters Fast...

    Another dumb question

    I start re-checking the SG at five days. Once the SG is stable for three days in a row, you are good to move on to secondary fermentation. I think it is also okay to leave it for the full recommended period for your kit instructions (and some people think it is beneficial to leave it on the...

    Nothing to do with wine today, other than arranging a supply of bottles from one of the local restaurants. We have finally started tosee summer weather here and I intend to spend the day in the garden. I wish all of the American members a happy and safe July 04th.

    Ok. So, I tried the marbles method a couple of days ago. I used about 650. It took some time to wash them all and soak in K-meta. Now I have a layer of marbles on the bottom of the carboy. When it comes time to rack the wine, I can see that I am going to have another cleaning job to strain off...

    I hope that all goes well and you get the two boys into your home. It is good to hear of people like you and your gf that are willing to step up to the plate. A stable, loving home can make a world of difference in young peoples lives and those that are close to them. Best of luck to all. . ...

    Bulk aging time?

    Bob. I just got home last night from a week- long trip and saw your message. I am a novice at bulk aging. So, I would ask others who have a little more experience in this regard to jump in. I was advised by others on this board that my Malbec may benefit from bulk aging for about four...

    Do you drink store/commerical wine?

    I buy from small wineries and the liquor store. My own wine is not yet ready. When it is, I will surely buy less, but I like to try different wines and will probably continue to buy

    Floor corker recommendations.

    Thank you for the replies. My missing one was probably a Portuguese one. I think it was about $50.00 or $60.00 a few years back. I am off to town tomorrow and that will be on my list. I am sure my old one will show up as soon as get the replacement.

    Floor corker recommendations.

    I had a floor corker at my old residence and I was sure that it was moved with all of my wine making equipment. However, today a search came up with negative results. The one that I had was purchased at Costco several years ago. I do not know the brand. Before I go looking for a replacement, are...

    top up or not

    Having just topped off my Malbec with a commercially produced bottle, I find this an interesting topic. I can see the marbles possibly being a chore to remove and clean. The bag looks simple. How far along is this idea?
