Thanks Dan and Tony. This hobby is addictive.

First Bottling, First Label, New Zealand Chardonnay. Finished crystal clear and already taste great.

I was thinking if insulating the 1 gallon jugs, say with a bath towel wrapped around it several times if that might keep it at 50 degrees or more in the 40 degree frig. I have an infrared thermometer to take surface temps every now and then to monitor.

Thats why this forum is so great, HELP is just around the corner.

Thanks for the response. I guess I'll go another month then degass and add fining agent and wait to turn crystal clear and bottle. Only getting about a 1/16" sediment at the bottom now. I will start these in the fall from now on, it's just so addicting.

Newbie fruit winemaker help and first post!!!!! I have 1 gallon of Strawberry and 1 gallon of Red Raspberry that are only 2 months out of the Primary. Temps are rising here and soon will be in the 90's and 100's. It is impossible to maintain the house temp at even 70 unless you have boat load...
