Pillan N-1 crusher/destemmer and stand for sale ($600). Live near the Pittsburgh airport. Also antique wine press for sale ($100).

Other than a quarter of an inch what is the difference between the Nomacorc 1 1/2" and 1 3/4". I am looking for something that will store my wine 10 years.

mine leaks too but I dont complain about it because I bought the AIO shortly afterwards about 2 years ago.

I think most people on this board will recommend the All In One pump. Reasonably priced and you can't find better customer service. Google it because you can do a lot more with the pump than just transfer wine. Perhaps the best feature is using it to bottle.

any harm in cutting the paper in half length wise and using half the paper. I test 3 wines and I can't see a use for using the lactic and malic samples because I know from previous tests where each sample should end up. I should be able to use only half the amount of chemical this way. Any...

How much tartaric acid do you typically add prior to fermentation? How much tartaric acid do you typically add post fermentation. I know it varies year to year but I am looking for a general answer. I get my grapes from Central California and it seems like every year I am having a tougher...

I have a barrel (10 gallon) filled with wine that is situated among 9 or 10 filled carboys. All of my carboy airlocks are showing pressure while the barrel airlock never shows pressure. I am hoping this is attributed to the fact that the gasses are being released through the barrel staves and...
