    Cheap red kit

    I wanted to get a less expensive red wine kit for my brother in law for christmas. He is a red wine drinker and likes to drink for his house wine carlo rossi paisano. Has anyone tried any of those really cheap wine kits ($45-$60) and had any decent results. We have a $50 limit on gifts. Thanks

    Apfelwein (Hard German Apple Cider)

    I bottled the three gallon batch of apfelwein today after an 11 month bulk aging in a glass carboy. I was kind of disappointed because it didnt really seem to have alot of flavor. I did not carb the batch it is still. Is this normal?

    Degassing in wine bottle

    Well it seems you cannot degass with a vacuum pump from a wine bottle. I set up my pump and applied it to the bottle of wine and saw no results. I guess I will have to empty the bottles, degas with agitation and rebottle. Do I run the risk of a problem from the oxygen exposure?

    Degassing in wine bottle

    temperatures have been cellar temp. I will try degassing a couple and see what happens. I wonder how long to degass a bottle 750ml?

    Degassing in wine bottle

    I just bottled a batch of wine that was started last october from juice and I have a problem with rising corks. I think there may be some co2 left in my wine that is causing the problem (air space is good). The corks are coming up about 1/2" or so. I do have a vacuum pump and was thinking...

    Tom Thanks for the info. I was going to bulk age. I only stirred twice a week. I appreciate the help. Would you recommend the k-meta and no sorbate? Have a great weekend!
