    Electric destemmer stops mid crush

    My start capaditor blew out on me several years ago with only about three lugs of grapes to go. I was able to get through the rest of the cruch by giving the pulley a little boost. I ordered three capacitors to have two for back-up.

    WineXpert Bottling first kit ever, SO2 question

    Here is my "2 cents": I use KMS when working with anything but stainless steel. For stainless I use an acid sanitizer (StarSan) because KMS will degrade the stainless and eventually cause pitting. My KMS mix is: 2 tsp KMS, 1 Tbs Citric Acid, 1 gallon clean water. 2 Tbs KMS is required if you...

    RJS red trio kit

    RJS red trio kit

    I make the RJS Winemakers Trio Red all the time. It is a great kit ....especially after a year or so of aging. The only thing I do different is substitute the EC1118 with BM4x4 and do small regimen of nutrient additions for the BM4x4.
