i fill the fermenter as suggested to 1/8 below the level line... I have made over a hundred kits and probably 10-12 FWK....I was going to ask Matt or Matteo but haven't made it over to them... this only occurred twice....next white i will be more careful but pretty careful from the get go.
i haven't noticed the fruit flies at all but have had some issues in doing the white FWK with the charcoal dust. I have made about 10 FWKs mostly reds (and i like them a great deal) but twice on the whites (chardonnay and sauvignon blanc) they have exploded in the fermenter. Black gunk spilling...
Hey, i'm new to the site but have been making kits from LabelPeelers for about 10 years.. I'm into the Finer Wine kits and like them although the whites are challenging with the charcoal additive.
hope to learn new things here
