So, on 5/20, 14 days after starting this kit the SG was down to .999. I racked it to a clea carboy and added another cup oc currants in a mesh bad and an oak stick. Today on the 30th, the SG was .990. I transferred it ( without the currants or oak) to a clean carboy and added the potassium...

Within 24 hours after putting the lid on the fermenter it started bubbling. Slowly at first but by the third day it was really bubbling. It has now been 9 days and the bubbling has slowed down to every five seconds or so. I haven't checked the SG yet as I was going to wait until all the...

I haven't seen this on here yet so I thought I would post it. I was making a kit wine following Joeswine Tweaking instructions for a Fontana 6 gallon wine kit. When I began, I grabbed the yeast packet thinking it was the bentonite and added it to about two gallons of warm water. I then began...

Ok, I moved it to a carboy today. The SG was .999. So I will just let it sit for a couple weeks. The airlock is still bubbling but it has slowed down greatly. Thanks

Moving quick! When I started the kit last Sunday, the SG was 1.090. By Thursday it was at 1.006. After the chaptalisation, it went to 1.020. Today, Saturday, it was at 1.002. I have been stirring daily and keeping it in a room that is between 72 and 76 most of the time. I know the...

I have had he AIO for about two months now and have used it to rack wine four or five times. I am amazed at how easy it is and the best part is I no longer have to sit for long periods of time over a bucket or a carboy with a drill trying to get all the CO2 out. Just a flick of the switch and...

Just got my Allinone! I finally broke down and bought an Allinone wine pump. I have been looking at these for almost six months trying to decide if I should buy one. I have been known by friends as being very frugal (OK, Cheap). I just started making wine about a year ago and have made four...
