    recycled bottle post-cleaning logistics (for temporary storage)

    LWS = Local Wine Shop Yup my idea also, look around see who has what, and just get some. W/ amazon, when it arrives, its easy to return if you dont like what you get.

    recycled bottle post-cleaning logistics (for temporary storage)

    i have a rough looking one i picked up from LWS. it works great, about 2" diameter (mini size of a bigger carboy brush) brush size works great. I have looked to amazon for some preplacement bottle brushes. They work ok.

    1 In 5 California Early Adopters of EVs Move Back To ICE - For Convenience Reasons......

    All keep in mind, i know a few who bought an EV and figured they would charge it with all the places they see around town. They are supprised how few there are for where they are going, shopping and traveling to / from. I think EV is here to stay, but just like any immerging new trend, it takes...

    Where to buy cheap wine bottle

    Do you really have to post up about how great the All-In-One pump actually works.... :) I've read many posts ( have alerts setup for the other thread) and keep sitting on the fence. You are pushing me over the edge... Yes I too have the same issue filling bottles with that dimple on the...

    Does anyone use regular (flat) wire racks for bottle storage?

    I have 4 of these type racks in my wine room. I use it not for wine bottle storage, but i have the shelves height set to wine case size.. this way i can store 4-5 cases on each shelf.

    pitching yeast: to mix or not to mix?

    I've actually done both ways... sprinkle on top, and sometimes stir the must, and sprinkle. If after they wine will not start ferment, i then make my yeast starter. We have very software up here in PNW so when making a starter, i just make up 1/2 glass of warmed water, add a bit of sugar, then...

    Hydrogen Sulfide

    years back i had an issue like this... I opted to get some copper pipe and cut a few pieces slipped them into the carboys... after a few weeks - month, problem gone.

    Filtering

    Is this a science project? Seems weird. I cant disprove it (not quite that much of a science type) but seems weird, "positive and negative charges" Yes I too wait to bottle. I have heard some will filter straight into new bottles and cork.

    How many of you don't check sulfite levels before bottling?

    I'm not so good about it. I look at the date of last activity, then adjust accordingly. This weekend, we bottled up some of 2017 / 2016 Riesling and Gewurtz. I last filtered and sweetened it 6/20, so i did nothing more than siphon into bottles and cork.

    What is K-meta

    yup, some can taste the sodium so they dont use it... I cant say I have ever used Sodium meta. we only use Pot meta

    Sanitizing Bottles What do you use (Poll)

    50 kmeta / 50 water... Ok, so water is from the tap... 50 kmeta? whats your mixture rate. I really don't think its 1c kmeta dry powder and 1 cup water. Are you talking about a typical 1/4t - 5g water sanitizing solution? or a 1T - 1 gal water cleaning solution

    Back Sweetening process and dosages

    woups... I meant completed cool. I have found if i add the hot sweet mix the the wine, it has dropped out sugars after time. I have better sucess when the mixture cools to room temp then add to the wine.

    Back Sweetening process and dosages

    Here's another tip... sweeten the wine to just little dryer then you like, let it set and come back tomorrow or just back in carboy and sit for few weeks/months. the flavor changes a bit from what I remember so I let it sit. I would advise against bottling right away. At times if the sugars...

    Now that takes all the fun out of instantly plugging some new filters... LOL

    Buon Vino Super Jet T29213

    little feedback on SuperJet, I dont like mine because of the filter weeps out on the ground. I use mine in a basin or the bath tub. Easy cleaning, easy to drain into the tub. I'm leaning towards selling mine, and getting the All In 1. The filters do last quite a few. My mini jet will last 2...
