I bought a second hand corker and some equipment off a gentleman . He said it works but sometimes it shaves a piece of the cork off . I tried it and yes it does . Do these things have any kind of adjustment on them ? Mines green but looks similar to the picture

I ate a few young coconuts last week, and you get a pint of juice from each one pretty much. Around $2.50 a coconut , I was wondering if it would be possible to make a gallon of wine out of these ?

I usually make up,a spray bottle full and spray tools and stuff, I'm wondering if I could store what's left or do I just throw it away each time ?

Last night we picked our grapes ( Concorde) and juiced them but we don't even have close to enough juice for a full batch. Is there a way to just for fun scale down a recipe and use some other kind of container instead of a carbouy? We might have 4 or 5 litres of juice . Maybe 6 . But like i...

This is off topic , but I thought I'd ask. Admin , remove off not appropriate . I have a huge jug of hot sauce and I wanted to pour so em to so e smaller glass bottles for neighbours and friends . I was wondering if I could wash the bottles really good and rinse, then use that white powder stuff...

I bottled these 2 weeks ago , just from a 4 week kit . Everyone including myself likes the wine, but when I went downstairs to look , I noticed the corks kinda are sticking out . I had to use a hand corker, and they didn't really go in like the floor corker i borrowed. They kinda mushroomed...

The wine store sold me the packet, and I had the oxinclean on the laundry shelf . Can i use either for cleaning and sanitizing? which should I use?

Hi Vino Members , Tonight was supposed to be bottling day, but when i went to take my last sample to check, i accidentally pushed the wine thief right to the bottom and my sample came out very murky. I guess i stirred the bottom up a bit. How long would i have to wait for it to sit now , before...

Hi gang, I'm using a 28 day wine kit (merlot) from superstore ($40) . The instructions say after 7 days the SG should be at 1.20. I'm now on 8 days and its at 1.40. Any advice on what I should do from here?

I already got the big "NO NO" with using bleach from the board here. Can i get some help on properly sterilizing please? Im going to Walmart today to get some sterilize stuff. I have a pretty new laundry sink in the basement. Im wondering about the best way from start to finish. Thanks

When i siphoned from the primary into the carboy, it was low. So, i boiled some water and filled it up this much, i was wondering if this is enuff water, or should i add some more.

I started my 2nd kit 2 days ago. This time i used a carbouy instead of a paint bucket. We followed the directions ( we thought) but when i woke up this morning, i found wine splatters all over everything. Its bubbling all over. The flash on my camera isnt working, but hopefully you can make out...

This kit came on for $34 and i thought of trying it again. The last one i did, has been bottled for 6 weeks and has turned into a wine i like. All i would like to do is make it a tad more sweeter and a tad more alcohol. Not much of each, but a little. Here is the kit

There is a local lady selling these kits for $45. Ive never seen one in a bucket before. Has anyone tried this kit or know anything about it? Thanks

So, i have all my wine making equipment at home and ready to use it now. But first, let me tell you what im looking for. A few years back my family made some wine with a kit, a merlot i believe. The thing i liked about it is, when you drank it, you couldn't tell there was any alcohol in it. It...
