Wade E

Thanks Wade. I want to see where this goes first before avertising. IE how many people from my area come to this site as my store is way north so shipping does not make any sense for most people. I will contribute and help where I can. RBJ222

I made the Choc. Strawberry Port back in August, just tasted it for the first time with my BIL and SIL from a 5 gallon batch. I told them I'd probably bottle it for Christmas. They said I needed to make another batch.......immediately.........because they were probably going to hijack the whole carboy.

He now sells the same filter system I used to sell so he has it all!

was thinkin about buying the vacuum pump the all in one and saw ur links to the filter system. my question is will ur system work with this vacuum easily. thankyou. vic

Can you believe I just came across a bottle of your Blueberry Melomel, vintage 2007 from when we had swapped wines a few years back. I don't know why I hadn't tried it before now (I guess it got pushed to the back). It's fantastic, good color and clarity with a sparkle. It hasn't oxidized at all.

Thank you!!

Hi wade, i'm new and i'm not sure how i find recipes that people have posted. Such as your chocolate strawberry port recipe. Thanks!!

Wade,
My wife and I just opened up a winemaking store and would like to know what it costs to advertise here.
Thanks,
Dave

Wade,
Do you have a website or catalog that lists all the stuff you sell? I need an odd assortment of things I've run across in the forum, that you seem to sell. I also don't know how to order.

T Shirt looks great Wade! Thanks for getting them and dropping it off for me.

Wade I wanted to say thanks. Skimming the forum I came across yet another on your bits of knowledge. I have had a lot of trouble with trying to fill bottles with sparkling wine. you mentioned to Tom I think that your fill hose should be 10 feet long to provide back pressure and keep your brew from foaming. Mine is only about 2 feet long. Im going to try again when my long hose comes in. Thanks Lloyd

Wade E where do i get vacume pump hthat is not to expensive.

I should be able to handle that, if not I have a few people that I can ask (a few woodworkers and engineers in the family :-) How much would this unit cost?

thanks Wade I'll check out walkers. on the fruit juice. I was under the impression some companies might sell juice with pulp but I guess all you need is the juice.

OOOPs will send pm

While its clearing(fining agent doing its thing) if you apply a vacuum to it all that sediment will get sucked up to the top instead of sitting at the bottom. Lots of us use vacuum pumpos to rack, degas, filter and bottle our wines and thats why I stated this.

Thank you Wane for your help, basically I did the clearing and the last racking, and I could start bottling the wine in 10 days.
What do you mean when you said “Do not apply vacuum to a wine that is clearing or you will make a huge mess!”
Make a huge mess, what it mean?
Thank again

Wade, I’m making a W/E Italian Montepulciano and I finish step 4 one week ago, on step 3 I add the metabisulphite, sorbate and clarifier, I would like to know if I can de-gas again, what happen is I been reading about de-gasing and I degas the wine with a S/S Mix-Stir for about 5 minute and today I want to check if I did it good, so I used my renold Handi-Vac and was surprise of all the gas that was coming up. So to recap, can de-gas again after adding add the metabisulphite, sorbate and clarifier. Thank you
