Help...I just bottled 90 bottles of wine w/ synthetic corks. Do they need to be stored on their side....or can they be stored upright? Thanks for any help

The Stevia is completely clear when dissolved. I am just unsure on how much sugar is required to backsweeten. I have 6 gallon carboys. My Zin, Carmenere and Pinot Grigio are all completely dry and bulk aging now. Does it require tablespoons of sugar, cups or pounds of sugar to adequately sweeten...

I was wondering if anyone ever back sweetened with Stevia instead of sugar? We use Stevia in our household exclusively. It is an all natural ground up plant that is very sweet. It is in powder form and can be purchased in any health food store. I tasted some of my wine that did not fit into the...

I transfered the wine from the carboy, leaving most of the sediment behind. Then I dumped it back and forth from bucket to bucket. I cleaned out and sanatized the carboy and transfered the wine back in to it. Now it is cloudy.....but no CO2!! I will wait a few more days....I may try the...

Thanks for the quick response. I was so excited my wine was crystal clear but had trapped CO2....now that I fixed the CO2 problem it looks awful. I will wait and I will look for some of that clearing agent you mentioned instead of superkleer. This first batch has been exciting yet frustrating...

I am making a Riesling wine and this is my first batch. I added the sorbate and sulfite and backsweetened after it finished fermenting it bone dry. I also stirred the heck out of it and then added Superkleer. Well......my wine was sparkling clear but it had trapped CO2. I had a tone of tiny...

Thanks for the fast response....is it okay that I have some sediment on the bottom of the carboy? I thought I would need to rack it first.

I received the Brew belt...and it really did the job. Thanks for the fast shipping by the way George!! My riesling wine has finished fermenting now and I am ready to rack into the bucket and add the sorbate and metasulphite. I have a drill and a mixer to help with the degassing. I also intend to...

I ordered the brew belt from George......lets hope this does the trick. Until I get the belt....I am gonna use the Disco spot light!!!!

Fabulous idea!!!! I am going to order one right now.

Wow....thanks for the warm response. It is back under glass and I topped it up with another riesling wine. I put the airlock on as well. I was thinking of hanging a lightbulb or shining a bright light to help warm it up (I have a spot light for my disco ball I could use!!!!!) It sure gets warm...

I am going to do it right now!!! Thanks

I just got a wine kit for Christmas. I started my riesling Dec 31st. It came with the yeast already mixed in the bucket for me. I picked my juice up at a local winery. My starting reading was .1080. I followed the instructions and at day 10 racked into the carboy even thought the sg was only...
