    Anyone found a good way to bottle fresh grape juice

    So I guess here is what I'm thinking.. Crush the fresh concords into one of my fermentors. Add pectin enzyme and SO2. After 24 hours press the grapes and collect it a carboy and put it in the fridge for 24/48 hours. Once the sediment has dropped out move the juice to a corny keg to...

    Do you loan equipment out?

    If you can't afford the supplies for the amount of wine you're trying to make you probably move no business doing it..

    Whats Legal Limit?

    There shouldn't be federal laws regarding such things anyway. It's a state issue

    Do you loan equipment out?

    They can pick up a small press and crusher for $300 which is more than enough for the average wine maker. - and it will last forever if you take care of it. I would stick to your guns on the equipment. They can buy $20 brutes and load their grapes up to bring to you.. But I wouldn't...

    Do Cleaners/Sanitizers Create Off Flavors?

    You're obviously a moron if you rinse out your carboy using the same water you're going to be adding to your wine.. There are all sorts of products in every store that are certified by the FDA for consumption that I do not plan on drinking.

    Serve from the carboy?

    You're flying in the face of thousands of years of wine making refinements and perfection. Campden should be used at a rate of 1 tablet per gallon.. for one. There is no cheap way of adding co2 to the head. Maybe a small co2 beer tap? Why wouldn't you just bottle it? Hell, pop bottles will...

    Floor corker spring too tight

    Also, the corker handle needs to be all the way up to release the bottle base

    Floor corker spring too tight

    Toward the back of the unit there should be a small spring with two nuts on the bottom. Adjusting those nuts "up" will allow the handle to release the bottle base. The nuts are supposed to be jammed into one another so that they cannot move.
