Joe, have you ever timed two different yeast enoculations, say one to start primary and then another a day or two later, thinking D47 first and then V1116 a day or two later in a Sav Blanc, what do you think?
Joe,
I was thinking about adding Malo Culture to my Fontana Malbec. I racked it into the Secondary last night. Does MIF make the Malbec a better wine with smooth taste and better mouth feel? PLease let me know if this is over kill and not needed.
If I add it at the end, will it clear properly??? Do I add it all at the end when I add the Sorbate/Metabisulfate & clearing agent? Would LOVE to know since I am fairly new at all of this!! ThanQ you!!! Diana
Hi Joe! I just found this website when looking on how to make an fpac. I have gone through as many of your posts as I can but I didn't find my question answered. I wanted to do a mixed berry Fpack. So I was going to cook it down, however, when do I add it? I want the fruitiness in the fpac to remain in the end product...do I add it in 2nd fermentation?
saw your ost in tweaking cheap wine box kits would you b available to potentially send me the list of all the items in use in order of queue there like the 5 gallon jug thing are they all on amazon too or? Looks like a premier set up i would love to learn from you https://www.winemakingtalk.com/threads/tweeking-cheap-kits.51904/
I have been referred to you regarding a question about oak chips. I have a raspberry wine that I'm considering adding oak to. I have no experience with oak chips.
13.3% ABV
4.5#/gallon
27 liters.
What's your take on this? What oak chips would you use?
