Happy Birthday Dan! Cheers!

It is sitting quietly. I did give my Amarone some thought since we chatted and the flavor is very good, a little light but it did fill my senses with a beautiful Amarone aroma. On the notes I tasted dried plums, spices, and a little wood. It was bitter on the end. The warmth of the alcohol is...

My suggestion would be for him to make another batch and blend it down to the the FG of 1.020 There's no way to know how much he needs to make without knowing how much he has made at 1.070

Welcome to WMT! :) Cheers!

Congratulations Kim!

I can attest, all the above are by no means exaggerating! I have 25+ 6 gallon carboys, some 6.5 carboys and some 5 gallon, dozen or so of gallon and of half gallon jugs. Some how I still never have a available carboy! I share it every chance I get, I've thought about having a huge party just so...

Pretty cool! I could totally see myself converting to this method of measuring.

Your yeast needs oxygen while it is fermenting. A clean cloth is best.

Racking to secondary RACKING TO SECONDARY Again, sanitizing everything that comes in contact with the wine! We racked our Amarone from fermentation bucket to secondary carboy with our pump slowly degasing some along the way. The following day we degassed our Amarone a little more. I had to...

Product Description This regular handle is compatible with standard 3, 5, or 6 gallon carboys. Fits beneath lip of a glass carboy. Reduces the danger of dropping a full or wet carboy. This is not designed for supporting the weight of a full carboy; always support full carboys from the bottom!

picture taken yesterday degassing while racking.

Update: Finally the day has come! I racked the Amarone and it degassed some while pumping over slowly.

I used the included labels on my first kit. Since then I have made my own, I like our labels to reflect who we are.

Happy Birthday Rocky!! Cheers!

That is cool! Thumbs up!!!

Actually I meant 1.002

Thank you Seth for the verification. Glad that it is not to far off. Lesson learned! I'm sure I will naturally be a little off, but I try to be on the mark as best as I can. Cheers!

I took a reading yesterday and it was 1.002, I took a reading today and it is 0.998. It has slowed way down! I'm sure it won't be long before a racking is in order. @Joewine , do you have any thoughts on this Amarone? Btw @vaccumpumpman and Joe, thank you for helping me properly read a triple...
