Love the all in one wine pump!
Cant say enough about it. Talked to the Gail at my local brew shop about it. I think she will be calling you. I have used it a bunch.
Boatboy,
Where can i find the numbers pH TA for various wines. I know it comes down to taste ultimately. But to have some rough guidelines for the numbers would be helpful.
thank you very much!
Boatboy,
You got better looking.:)
I am liking the RP-15. Purchased some after my syrah grapes got going. purchased from more wine. Started a eclipse cabernet sav with it. Wow what a difference in aroma during primary...foams a lot. I am ready to throw the yeasts that come with the kits...
Coleman,
That is very nice. I love it. Can almost smell it from here. I appreciate the suggestion. (whats not to like about recycling your skins) Will let you know how mine turns out.
Its like a monster grape pack.
I did. Just finished the press yesterday . Used a nylon bag....that was a bit of a pain but worth the effort. The Rock pile yeast and syrah grape combo was awesome. Very fruity smell throughout fermentation. Anyway I took the pressed skins from the 2 must buckets and added 2 WE Shiraz kits...
The must arrived yesterday. It was 25 for a high here:sn. were still 2/3 frozen so letting them thaw at room temp. I cannot wait to get them in the fermenter. Any opinions on the additive packs they send with. Any other suggestions. I have been reading a ton all over this site and the more...
Coleman,
My Two buckets of Syrah ship Monday. Thanks for the advice on testing equip.
Four follow up questions...
1. Do you use the pressed skins with lower or higher end kits ?
2. Do you pitch any more yeast or let the pressed skins donate there yeast
3. You use one bucket's worth of WGD...
Yes I am......
Sonoma Coast Durell Syrah...2 pails. Will ship out week after next.
That being said....should i fork out the cash for fancy testers or use the cheaper kits (pH/TA etc)
wondering if anyone has much experience with bottling wax after corking. I have played around with a 1 lb batch i purchased from Morewine. Easy to use and cool effects.....love the look.
Now to the question.....anyone know if it seals the bottle so well that it will inhibit aging in the...
great discussion and i have gathered much info.
Got my first Vadai Oak Barrel. Prepping it with boiling water now. I highly recommend the folks at Vadai. They are great. Looking forward to using the barrel once I am sure it is tight and sealed.
Also spoke to the folks at wine grapes...
ok thanks. I believe from searching other posts that I can top up with another good similar commercial wine? Wont change profile too much? Also ordered marbles from morewine.
also am I the only one that has that much room in a 6 gallon carboy after primary? I make it with 6 gallons of...

Very nice. I am ordering my first frozen must as well. I found this very helpful.
Question regarding your very first part of this. Are there "standard guidelines" for Brix/TA/PH balance. I am wondering how one knows if they are good to go or if adjustments need to be made.?
