Greetings again JoeyC, being as you've sold your plate & frame filter how are you filtering now? I'm searching for a viable solution other than P & F or cartridge filtration.
Just an over enthusiastic home winemaker. We've been making wine for over 40 years (tells you I'm old. dont'cha think?) In October we went to Fulkerson's off Lake Seneca and picked up 1 ton of DeChaunac grapes. Great place to buy grapes & juice. Saw your craftsmanship on the neighbors' wine...
Thankx anyway. Where are you located? I just purchased 2-660 liter SS variable capacity tanks from a local dealer that are fantastic and 4-59 gallon French Oak barrels plus roto stands.
Ahhhh, state store. You must be in Pennsylvania also. I supply all of our friends parties and events and never get a complaint. Have you noticed wineries trending toward sweet? Drives me nuts, and that is a very short drive.
Greetings and welcome to the one of the most exciting hobbies!
I would allow the grapes to thaw without heating, keeping them tightly covered in your primary fermenter. Have they been sulfited prior to freezing? Are they your grapes or from a distributor? Red, white or a blend? If you are...
