    Cellar Craft Batonnage my Chardonnay

    Because of the kit you might find that you might get a more bready /yeasty flavour from the battonage rather than buttery. Usually buttery comes from the malo, which isn't recomended on kits.

    Mosti Mondiale Ready to start La Bodega port

    Like most of the posts you picked a good kit. I did a double batch of this almost two years ago. I added some sugar after the fermentation started to Jack up the alcohol. Also like you I added a quarter of the f pack. Now after a bit of French oak and a small amount of Hungarian, and a good...

    Cellar Craft Caliornia North Coast Grand Red

    Mine is all finished a month or two ago and will stay in bulk for a while, either until fall harvest or longer if I can spare the carboy for longer. I echo that it is showing good promise to be a big wine

    Mosti Mondiale La Bodega Port (Double Batch!)

    That's a good call with the temp. I didn't end up racking and clarifying mine yet. I thought it needed some more oak yet so I put some brandy and a little more oak in on hopes to get a little different extraction

    Be careful with potassium sorbate

    Wow I would say that your problem is a good problem to have, in order to live in the Bahamas. I have to admit I am mildly jealous!

    Be careful with potassium sorbate

    That very well could be. I'm not certain where you are from but you could likely purchase required chemicals from the country you live in to avoid customs digging into your shipment

    What I going so far!!

    You already went through over 20 gallons of wine since August? Patience is a virtue my friend and your friends will likely appreciate patience.

    Proper temperature for Carboys

    If you can keep your temp up to fermentation temps for Malo to easily do its job is best. Too cold or too warm it tends to struggle. For bulk aging I like to keep mine as cellar temp. Could range from 60-65. Again too hot or too cold could cause some issues. For bulk aging it isn't only the...

    Questions on using oak chips

    That's good to know, I was hoping to find a supplier up here in the great white north to avoid duties and border brokerage fees

    Mosti Mondiale La Bodega Port (Double Batch!)

    I wouldn't think that the F pack and wine would fit in the 3 Gal, hopefully you don't have too much problems finding smaller containers to put the excess into for now. Excess is a good problem to have lol. I'm not certain but I would think holding off on using the clarifyers would be to see if...

    Ironish tasting wine

    I wonder if this may be part of the ever debatable Kit Taste or KT. I have noticed in some red kits that I have done it has that same Ironish flavour. I haven't been able to put my finger on the taste as I thought it was kind of metallic but I think you nailed it with the iron taste. Hopefully...

    Questions on using oak chips

    Not trying to hijack but does anyone have a good source for toasted oak cubes?

    How to know if wine has cleared/needs to be retransfered

    If there is substantial amount of sediment as you said I would rack (transfer) again. Also try to be patient for it to clear up. It may take a while or you may have to eventually use some kind of clearing agent to help drop out all the rest of the sediment. My opinion is to get winery sparkle...

    Sediment Question

    The clarifying stage can take a little while for everything to settle out especially if it wasn't completely degassed prior to adding the clarifyers. Sometimes it drops out some pretty goopy stuff and now that it is off of the sediment I would leave for a few weeks to make sure nothing else is...
