This was really interesting. They didn't even mention the "cat piss" notes from their Red Oak:+)

I have probably 4 of these more than I need. Keep having to move them when I am either doing Crush or Press, etc. so they are at front of thought currently. Believe they are Lannox or something like that. They are complete with Floating Lid, Pump & Hose for Lid, Tri-Clover fittings, Ball Valve...

I usually make 2 of these every year to insure I have a few for gifts and plenty to drink that are 2~ 4years old. I am not seeing them discounted this year like normal. I have done the obvious Google searches, Amazone, etc. Anyone seeing any really good deals? Last year I found free shipping, so...

Just sold a few of my excess Stainless Steel Beer kegs, so looking for a good floor corker. Already have a used/old Portuguese that leaves some mild creases in the cork, but works ok on real corks, but does not work well with synthetics. No problem paying a little more for quality as may be...

No problem. May need them to build a raft. Looks like you might get some wind after it recharges. Stay safe. Tired of emptying the rain gauge.

Close to Magnolia

16 Gallon Stainless Primary Thanks for the feedback and responses. May have to try Craigslist, but I am in or close to East Texas. May have to meet them somewhere. If there are any local WineMaking Talk members interested, would do 3 for $100. SSNJOHN

Are these too high of price or don't have any interest/value to the wine maker? I realize they may be a little heavy when full, but nothing compared to an oak barrel. Thanks for the feedback in advance, SSNJOHN

Not sure how much 60 lbs is, but picked mine about a week or two before the 4th. Brix was low, but not sure how high the Mustangs ever get. I had almost 5 x 5 gallon buckets before destemming. I am a little north of Houston. Just pressed mine Saturday and added some malolactic bacteria as it is...

Dean, Welcome, to the forum. Don't post very much, but do make some wine. Very familiar with Anderson as I am in Magnolia. Was a little outside of Anderson 2 weeks ago picking Mustangs a friends ranch. Been traveling so had to freeze them vs starting a batch. Interested in what types of...

I purchased a personal winery recently and in the inventory were stainless beer kegs with the tap stem removed. Have bung with bubbler for each. This would hold 15.5 gallons or a little over 58 liters. All clean and ready for use as a "little larger" secondary. Will not ship. Located northeast...

Thanks for the comments/responses. I will look at filing down the raised part doing the cutting. Initial glance looks like getting the blocks back in place may be challenging given the tension on the springs.

Recently purchased quite a bit of used equipment. In the batch was a floor corker. Green, says Portugal, but instructions on it are in French. Drove a few corks in some spare bottles, filled with water with some old corks. Looked good, didn't leak. All good. Last week, decided to bottle...

Got these in a deal for some other equipment and do not use this type. All are clean and 95% have no labels. 23 - One liter (15 clear + 8 various colors not in picture) 15 - ~500 ml Fischer Amber 20 - 15.2 oz Grolsch green $50 - All or none (might consider some trade for 375 ml wine...

Thanks for the advice. Will try option 1 and then proceed. John

Stuck ferment? - Dragon Blood Pretty much followed the DB recipe, but did have quite a bit of grape juice from some Spanish grapes and Mustangs. Added sugar to get SG to 1.082. Yeast used was Red Star Premier Cuvee (what I had). Had very active ferment at the start. SG is now 1.01 and has not...

DE - Labeling Not about the difficulty, but a method I have discovered that is pretty effective on ~ 90% of the bottles attempted. I have a railroad tie retaining wall in the back yard. Drilled some holes (12) at ~45 angle I can insert pieces of 1/2" x 6" long maple wood dowel into. About...
