    Bottles and Sorbate

    That might be it. I make a real strong solution. I just dump some kmeta in water and stir.

    Thanks. Do you rinse out your bottles?

    Bottles and Sorbate

    My wife cleans the bottles and I sterilize them with Kmeta and water and let them hang on the drying rack, not all the kmeta drains out and my wife thinks she can smell metasulfite after we fill the bottles with wine. The last 150 bottles we corked last week we I followed this technique. Clean...

    auto siphon technique

    I use a vacuum pump and tilt the carboy, it's easy and I don't lose much wine.

    Cold Stabilization (CS)

    I guess I will just rack them next week and put them in the freezer at 28 degrees for 2 weeks before I bottle them.

    Cold Stabilization (CS)

    I thought about taking 8 carboys outside for Cold Stabilization. My wife said the temperature fluxuation could damage the wine. It will be a high of 50 and and a low 20 in Arkansas. My freezer only holds two carboys and I thought I would do 8 then rack them at the same time. Any thoughts.

    Freezer?

    I have a freezer with a johnson controller set at 28 degrees. The cheap sweet wines I don't bother with only the nice reds. Should I run the all through the freezer? Any thought?

    Vacuum Filtering gone all wrong

    If there is a pressure relief valve on the top that could be your problem.

    Cold Stabilization (CS)

    Any tips? I never CS my Summer Breeze or Skeeter Pee and similar wines. I always CS my good wines right before I bottle them. One year to two years. I put it a freezer with a johnson control set at 28 degrees. I leave them for two to four weeks then bottle. Question... Can I CS right after...

    Buon Vino Mini Jet (free)

    It was gone in about 38 seconds. I use a water filter and a vacuum pump. It's easier for me. I'm doing some spring cleaning.

    Buon Vino Mini Jet (free)

    I never use my mini jet and still has the box that it came in, plus I'll throw in the filters. Free to a good home. PM me your address and I send it to you. I'm lazy so it might be 3 weeks before I get around to going to the post office. Any questions. 501-622-9773
