    excess K-meta

    excess K-meta

    I splashed until I couldn't smell the SO2. I took a small sample from the barrel and added some yeast. Nothing has happened after 3 days. I've been splashing for 2 weeks. OK, a little history. I've made this wine in this quantity in the past with great success. The recipe called for the...

    excess K-meta

    It's before fermentation. I added tablespoons instead of teaspoons.

    excess K-meta

    All, I made a huge mistake. I added too much K-meta to a 50 gallon batch of cranberry wine. I've been splashing the must between barrels, but nothing is working. Any other suggestions? Huh?

    Filtering and cold stabilization

    I make a lot of fruit wines and I purchased a Buon Vino filter. I'm curious if sterile filtering the wine would eliminate the need to cold stabilize. Anybody have thoughts they're willing to share?

    strawberry wine color

    15 Gallon Plastic Carboy

    BBarnes, I use the blue, food grade 55 gallon drums to make my wine and I've never had a problem. I use them as both a primary and as a carboy. When I use it as a carboy, I shoot CO2 into the drum before racking.
