My stand was made by a buddy and I, powder coated and mounted on a piece of 1/2 inch plastic board. Tom

Thanks for the advice Rocky..........been reading more info on the topic and seems no one thinks this is a good idea. Maybe I can suffer through a couple kits :) . I bought some decent Cabernet Sauvignon at the wine shop, it really helps the coastal red to add about 2/3 glass of the cab to the...

I bought 2 Coastal Red Kits on a 2 for 1 sale after thanksgiving. I bottled the first one last week. It taste pretty good but as expected from a 10 liter kit, it is kinda light or thin. It is a 6 gallon kit, I was thinking about cutting back on the other one and making it in a 5 gallon carboy...

Jon, Did you get a chance to use the new bottle filler yet? Tom

Howdy, Got my bottle filler stand back from powder coater and mounted on base. Tried it out with some water, think it's gonna be ok. Tom

Thanks a lot Dan and John. Tom

Bottled and corked nearly 9 cases tonight, what a backsaver having the corker elevated. No problems with stability at all. Mike, would have loved having it in the middle of the counter but when I hung the wall shelf I wasnt thinking about a corker and the handle of the corker wont raise without...

Greg, granted it is not near as stable as before but it is not to bad. I think it will be ok long as i am the one using it. Like i said earlier it was handy, once i get the height issue figured out i may come up with something better. I looked at pretty close when i was mounting the corker and...

It may be a little high, gonna try it tonight, got 2 boys of skeeter pee and a coastal red that are ready. Swmbo wanted to go into town to eat last night......when we got home it was to late to start bottling so I starting straightening up my area and I remembered how bad I hated bending over to...

Rob, This is my first kit and I was scared to deviate from the directions very much but I figured a few oak chips wouldnt hurt. I put about 4 oz in while it was in primary but put a piece of mesh around my racking cane tip when I transfered to secondary. You can taste the oak but not really...

Howdy, Do they call a floor corker a floor corker because you almost have to get on the floor to use them. Not any more. :) Been meaning to do this every since I used it the first time. Had a sturdy stool with a good wide base so Wasnt out nothing but a little time and a dollars worth of nuts...

Howdy, Another pin up girl for a couple Coastal Red kits I caught on sale "But One, Get a One Free" day after Thanksgiving. Tom

I use 5/16 id X3/8 od tubing on my current filter setup and the enolmatic seems to have a fat 3/8 fitting for the supply line so i was in lowes the other night and was going to pick up a roll of 3/8 id tubing but I would have to changed out all my tubing and used clamps on my canes and other...

Here is some with free shipping.

RR, I remembered you mentioning that about the stop and that is the reason we kept the base of the stand behind the upright and planned bolting it to a plastic or wooden base as either would be easier to incorperate a stop on. At the restaurant we have several table mounted peices such as prep...

Thanks..........I'll look lot better after powder coating and get it on a base. I have some white plastic board 1/2 thick kinda like chopping boards are made out of I'm gonna make the base out of. What really matters is how well it works..........maybe know that middle of next week. Tom

Thanks for the idea RR, Buddy and I built me one last night........he does metalwork for a living and has access to powder coater so after a little shake and bake at powdercoater next week I will mount it on a base and give it a try.........we were a little confused on the spring tension. How...

Bob, I couldnt speak for your wife but I was really proud of mine...................give it a try and see how it goes. Tom

Wade, didnt you used to fool with pumps a lot? What about a SCHUCO-VAC 130, did you ever have and experience with them? Tom

Howdy, Lookie Lookie what my wife had under the tree for me today. I have about 55 lbs each of red muscadines and bronze muscadines in the freezer.........looks like it is time to thaw them out and start some wine. :) Tom
