    Carboy Handle

    So.... I just moved 3 carboys using "neck handles". Worked great, but only moved them maybe 100 yards on the move out, and 50 yards on the move in. I was worried, but all went well

    Stubborn label glue removal mistake?

    I've used OxiClean to get labels to peel off. Usually works pretty good. I have learned to fill the bottles with just plain hot water so oxiclean doesn't get inside the bottles (it leaves a residue that can be tough to get out). So basically I fill the bottles with hot water and then put...

    anyone heard from Hounddawg?

    Dawg.... hope all is well. I haven't been on here recently (not because I've perfected wine making). You've helped me tremendously in this venture.

    Do i NEED to use 1-step?

    I have a paranoia about rinsing my wine bottles with hot water as soon as they are emptied (right after the last glass is poured). I then store them upside down overnight to dry. If they are rinsed really well, do I really need to use 1-Step prior to sanitizing? Thank you!

    Davinci? I thought I was the only one to ever have a dog named Davinci! My girl was an Australian Shephard, a little crazy as a pup, but settled in to a great dog. Miss her.
