Take a sample with your wine thief and put it in your test jar. Put your hand over the top of test jar and give it a good shake if you here a pop when you take your hand off you still have carbon dioxide.

Hi from the mainland.

Sounds like a good product to me. I'm in for the giveaway.

Hard to believe that no one has used this heating mat.

I guess no one has used or is using it.

Just wondering if anyone has used the Copper Tun Heating Pad (http://www.eckraus.com/heating-pad-fermentation.html) in there wine making. I do my wine in my basement and without turning the heat up it is only about 16C or about 61F. Seems to be a waste to turn the heat up in the whole basement...

Ok thanks, is there any test to see if there is any more gas in the wine.

yes I did follow the instructions on the kit and I add a mist booster to up the alcohol % of the wine.

I racked a batch of Peach wine from a kit on the 22nd and today I had a chance to filter it and when I went to take the solid bung off of the top of carboy it made a pop sound. My question is should I go ahead and bottle it or does that mean that I still have to much gas in the wine. Should I go...

I made this kit as per instructions and we love it.

Is anyone using this for making wine. (FastFerment) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnIl3d2rpzw&feature=youtu.be

How easy do they come off when needed.

Thanks everyone

Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas from Nova Scotia, Canada. May your wine making be a great success.
