I'm currently on day 13 of making my Selection Original Barolo kit. The instructions for the kit say to leave "most of the sediment" behind when racking but when I transferred to the secondary I used the spigot from the bucket as opposed to the siphon. I'm thinking now I may have transferred...

Thanks guys for the great info and the super fast responses. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I didn't add the flavor pack until near the end as the instructions stated. I followed the directions well, but there are a couple things that are bothering me now. At one point I was told by a few peoplethat if I liked the taste of my tap water (well water)I could use that...so I did; however...

Thanks Wade. It's good to know it's likely going to be fine. I have no problem letting it sit for however long is needed; however, I will need to buy another carboy so I can start another batch. I guess this is what it's like when you catch "the fever", huh?

The kit is Summer Breeze Blackberry/Cherry Pino Noir. I wanted to try something inexpensive my firsttime in case I messed something up.Hopefully all I need to do is give it more time and maybe a couple more rackings because I feel like I followed the instructions quite well.

I've recently completedone of thelast phases of my kit which is addingSiligel and stirring and thenadding Liquigel and stirring. I then topped off with some of my favorite store-bought red winecalled 337. Since then, each of the last couple nights, I took a small sample to taste. I've...

From what I can see the CO2 came from the seal between the lid and the bucket. Maybe I didn't have it on as good as I thought. The bucket is 7.9 gallons and I'm making a 6 gallon batch. Tonight I'm going to keep the lid on but not as tight. Just kidn laying it on there as George...

Thanks for all the info guys. I went ahead and bought a brew belt and everything is going great. By the time I put it on the bucket I could already tell fermentation had begun despite the lower temps. I put the lid on the bucketand attached an airlock and when I woke up this morning there was...

Hey guys, I'm new to wine making and the forum and this is my first post. I started my first batch of wine last night and realized when I woke up this morning that the temp of the wine dipped down to as low as 63 degrees F during the night. So far there has been no signs of fermentation and...
