Thanks everyone .... I'm Bottling this weekend , I'll give it a little persuading

I paid like $10 , he said sometimes it shaves them sometimes it doesn't . I'm good at fixing stuff , I just wanted to hear if someone had the same problem and what they did before I dive in .

I bought a second hand corker and some equipment off a gentleman . He said it works but sometimes it shaves a piece of the cork off . I tried it and yes it does . Do these things have any kind of adjustment on them ? Mines green but looks similar to the picture

I ate a few young coconuts last week, and you get a pint of juice from each one pretty much. Around $2.50 a coconut , I was wondering if it would be possible to make a gallon of wine out of these ?

Thank you very much for that information it sounds a lot different of a process than buying a wine kit at the superstore. Should I just leave it in the primary for now or should I pour it into the jug with airlock

Can someone explain the next step and amounts of product I need please ? I checked the gravity this morning after 6 days of formenting. It was reading 1.040 . It looks like red pea soup. I will filter it into a 1 gallon glass jug . What is next ?

I hope I did this right .....so we smushed all the grapes and squeezed/filtered as much juice as we could. Poured it into my primary fermenter, poured the yeast and closed the lid. It's been about 5 days now , and it's definitely fermenting. When I was googling ( for fun) different one gallon...

I usually make up,a spray bottle full and spray tools and stuff, I'm wondering if I could store what's left or do I just throw it away each time ?

Thanks for that info , all I have us the 21 litre carbouys, what can in use as a carbouy instead of the large ones I have ?

Last night we picked our grapes ( Concorde) and juiced them but we don't even have close to enough juice for a full batch. Is there a way to just for fun scale down a recipe and use some other kind of container instead of a carbouy? We might have 4 or 5 litres of juice . Maybe 6 . But like i...

It's just a big gallon of "franks" got it on sale for $9. I'll never use that much , so I was going to give some away .

Thanks a lot, I definitely won't be using that idea. Wonder if I run the bottles through the dishwasher , dry on heat cycle then pour it into the bottles. Hot sauce can sit in the fridge for years without going bad . ( I used to collect it) . I'm just being over cautious .

This is off topic , but I thought I'd ask. Admin , remove off not appropriate . I have a huge jug of hot sauce and I wanted to pour so em to so e smaller glass bottles for neighbours and friends . I was wondering if I could wash the bottles really good and rinse, then use that white powder stuff...

I followed the instructions to a "T" and de gassed like crazy , stirring multiple times per day. I even gave it a 10 day extra rack before bottling it . Maybe it is the crazy corker....And thanks for the twist cap advice, wont be using them anymore

That's the problem, I can't remember
