Thanks!! It's significant to the point that it's noticeable; but it's not like there's sludge on the bottom...

Thanks everyone. Now I know how to handle it! :br

Good morning all! My WineXpert Peach-Apricot Chardonnay is almost ready to bottle (this Friday). It looks nice and clear. However, there's still a significant amount of what appears to be yeast product at the bottom of my carboy (it's white). What am I supposed to do about this? Filtration...

I just ordered these 5 gal. food grade pails and lids: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A1LUFK8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 LOL...on second thought, did you mean pails WITH the juice?! I'll just go back under my rock now...

LOL! :s Thanks for that...

Darrr! :slp Thanks everyone!

good one!!!!

What does an F-pack do? I have a kit that uses one and I'm just wondering...thanks!

I spent a nice portion of my tax return on a new gadget, because I don't like reading standard hydrometers! (call me lazy; I won't be insulted :h) : http://www.stm-instrument.com/category-s/1823.htm Now when I actually *know* something about winemaking, I'll write a product review for this...

Self-explanatory title! I'm big into radio-control aircraft. Not exactly a good pilot (I average one gruesome crash per year :slp) But it's great fun anyway.

THANKS sg. I will take you up on this as soon as my system spins out of control...:)

omigosh!! :d:d

That's pretty smart...:b

"ZippoGeek" I'm a geek, and I love Zippo lighters. Thus, I am "Zippogeek."

For temp control, I highly recommend this little unit...been using mine for the past week and it works really well -- "set and forget" (not sure what your budget is, however): http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/johnson-controls-a419-digital-temp-controller.html

...that is my question! I'm hearing people talk about stirring their wine in the primary bucket. My kit instructions, however (Island Mist Peach-Apricot Chardonnay), say *nothing* about stirring the wine in the primary stage (Step 1). There's no stirring in Step 2, either -- it gets...

I really appreciate this post, blueflint...I don't want any screw-ups with my first red (a WineXpert Eclip$e Pinot Noir). My LHBS doesn't have anything bigger than a 7.9. So I just ordered THESE: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/10-gal-fermenter-no-lid.html...
