I have noticed in your tweeks citrus zest What I added was filleted Orange skins (pulp cut off like filleting a fish) makes for easier racking. For what it's worth, I appreciate you not acting like a wine expert BLOWHARD,as many are. May do a Sauvignon Blanc with Orange skins.

DB wine makers,. I am new. Doing 5gal.batch..frozen strawberry, pineapple, White grape concentrate, strawberry jam and preserves.Brown sugar sweetened. Taste is good.

My thinking was the molasses back notes with sweetness... I am in full experiment mode.. being the Sauvignon Blanc is O2 sick.. added orange zest. Will taste and evaluate.

That sounds great... I plan to up the alcohol % with some Bourbon. Plan to bottle. Enjoy. Will update.

A update on my over worked S.Blanc. Added 2 Tbls. Of Dunkin coffee beans.. And one cup of Brown sugar simple syrup. Surprised, it's sour taste is faded and caramel notes with a floral backdrop,(if that translates!).

Wondering if you think coffee beans will help a wine that is O2 infected?

Thanks, My first use. Thanks for the heads up. Newbie learning.

Question . Can you degas to much? Causing oxidation in the bottle or Bulk.

Help is needed. I tasted my Fontana Sblanc. It's perfectly clear. However, tastes very acid,ph3.2, though. Little vinagarie,... but drinkable. Body is light. Is it ruined?

That's my experience also. Plenty of room to stir and can have a lid with a bubble application. Use 5 gallon plastic jugs as well with handle and screw tight lid. Easy cleanings and non breakable. Works...$6 each.

You said add all learning agents? Is that slang.i am not familiar with the term.

You think 1 ounce of Hungarian cubes ok? Just put in last night.

Question from a Beginner. Should you add wood chips to a bulk aging Cabernet or any wine that is being bulk aged?

I was referring to the $5 pack of dried enhancements for Frozen Grapes sold by More Wine.
