My start capaditor blew out on me several years ago with only about three lugs of grapes to go. I was able to get through the rest of the cruch by giving the pulley a little boost. I ordered three capacitors to have two for back-up.

Never had a mold problem. But, will head the warning.

Here is my "2 cents": I use KMS when working with anything but stainless steel. For stainless I use an acid sanitizer (StarSan) because KMS will degrade the stainless and eventually cause pitting. My KMS mix is: 2 tsp KMS, 1 Tbs Citric Acid, 1 gallon clean water. 2 Tbs KMS is required if you...

Perhaps we can meet at my winery? ...it is a nice place to hang out

I'm up for it. Only days I cannot do it are Thursday, Friday & Saturday. I have a winery in Sterling Heights (Tennerra Winery) and those are my busy days.

Count me in

Nice

I love when a plan comes together

I am curious about why you selected Montrachet as it is notorious for producing hydrogen-sulfide in a low-nutrient environment . Where abouts do you live? I could drop some yeast in the mail for you. Maybe it will get there quicker? What varietal are you fermenting? Cheers!

Sterling Heights

I agree with Heather. Also, I no longer use the clearing agents. Ever since I started filtering, my wines seem a lot cleaner and taste better. The whites (especially RJS Cru International Gewurtztraminer) seem a lot crisper. The kit manufacturers want you to have a good experience. The result...

I make the RJS Winemakers Trio Red all the time. It is a great kit ....especially after a year or so of aging. The only thing I do different is substitute the EC1118 with BM4x4 and do small regimen of nutrient additions for the BM4x4.

Awesome ...and really love that logo, too.

Necessity is the mother of invention!

Try the RJS Cru International Ontario Sauvignon Blanc. Substitute the EC-1118 with QA23. The QA23 really enhances the citrus notes.

Monty, I get label material from onlinelabels.com too, and use Microsoft Visio for the designing. The OL500 are 4"x3" (6 labels per sheet) The WG option is White Glossy for Inkjet (100 sheets for $50) The WI option is White Glossy Weatherproof (100 sheets for $100) WI is twice the price, but...

DOAH! You all are all correct; that is way too much for a 23L kit. My standard batch for the winery is 4 kits (to fill a 100L tank). This is when I use 32 grams total (8 grams per 23L). Thank you for the correction.

I have four Super Tuscan to ferment and plan on using BM4x4 on it. My first experience using BM4x4 was with RJS Winemakers Trio Red (Cab Sauv/Syrah/Zinfandel). It turned out really great. I use to do nutrient additions at the beginning and then 1/3 depletion. This has changed to performing...

That is a good modifier.
