Hi Sampvt, I made this primarily to test Tartaric Acid levels using a titration kit and a PH meter. I don't know how to test sulfites yet. I can figure these two things out very easily with light colored wines, however it's very difficult to see color changes in dark wine samples. I forgot to...

It works! Should do the trick!

Genius! That's all I can say, so effective and efficient. KISS method. Keeping it simple. I'm telling you all right now I really have to start asking questions before making decisions, I could have followed someone earlier. Man....lessons learned.

Yeah, that's what I was going to use it for, acid testing. I looked on line for the whole kit and kabootle and it was like $180 from Midwest Supplies. Man, my wife would straight up flip out if I did that. Lol

Nice! Looks like a Roomba, you know that robot that automatically cleans the floor? Hey, as long as it works right. I'd take it, heck I would buy one from you to save some time. Lol

Well thanks to another post, I might as well use the case fan speed control. Why not!

Awesome! Would it be too much to ask for pictures, and a parts list? I would like to see your design. I knew I should have asked the experts on here first. I placed an add to buy one, nobody responded so I YouTubed it and got to where I am now. These things retail are ridiculously priced. I...

And this. I will construct the housing and assemble soon

Hi everyone, I need a magnetic stirrer for acid testing purposes. If you have one collecting dust taking up space or want to convert things into fast cash let me know please. :) Cheers everyone, good luck with your ferms. Rocco: 1-302-415-5224

My two cents: I use Poland Spring water. Hasn't let me down yet, unlike distilled water. The last and only time I ever used it I got a stuck fermentation. I had to rack, add tons of O2, and pitch again. I lost so much flavor that day....anyway it was enough for me to stick with spring water.

For those that care..... The Colonna corker/capper works like a champ! Less than $50 off Amazon. Bottled a few last night, smooth as silk with minimal effort. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Haha, my grandfather (93) stores blends of merlot and moscato in used American oak whisky barrels. :) I love that man and share glass after glass with him at the table to see his smile. I'm never going to find that unique flavor outside of his cellar. He owns that flavor, and you might find a...

I had a problem with fermentation once. I used Kmeta according to instructions for six gallon batch. Loosely covered, Waited 48 hrs. Sugared to 1.08 SG ( double checked) Adjusted acids with acid blend. Brought must temp to 75 F ****whipped vigorously with degassing tool to introduce a...

Hya! So I won't be the only one. I feel better now. :) I watched a couple of you tube vids, compared prices, and looked at my available space. The range of motion required (arc) is substantial but I am a big fan of mechanical advantage. Lol I guess I can deal with it.....for now. Thanks for...

Well everyone.... I think I made up my mind. This is what I'm going with. An all in one space saving bench top device for a reasonable price. What do you think anyone have this? Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

Hi Steve, Thanks for commenting. The capper will be used to crimp 12 oz. Corona bottles filled with wine. I have only corked about 60 bottles of wine in my life with a two handled winged corker. It too some practice, lol I would love to upgrade that at some point. I haven't paid much attention...

Thanks for sharing that, I was just looking at a floor corker at a local shop. I wasn't aware that some could do both. Hmmmm... This is good to know for sure. :) Thankyou, love that picture man, haha Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making
