I racked to my secondary at 0.996. Haven't degassed it, how long can I leave it before moving to the next step? (Degas,kmeta,chitosan,kitesol) I have the carboy topped right up to the neck with an airlock on. It's been like that for 2 weeks. Can I leave it to age Iike that? Or i need to add...

Looking to make a 6 gallon batch of mead, but according to my calculations thats roughly 18lbs of honey. Store bought (Walmart or grocery store) would cost me a fortune. It's roughly 8$/500g. Is this what you guys use, or is there a place I can get it for a more reasonable cost?

Would this be cause by too much sugar? Does a high abv wine taste like vodka? Thanks for the input. Starting SG was 1.0080 plus the sugars in the fruit. Calculations only gave me 12% but not sure how much the fruit contributed

Started a Merlot kit 2 days ago, room temp was 19. Now room temp went up to 24, and the merlot hit 31C.... what now? The room temp I'm assuming is the second fridge we added downstairs. It usually hovers around 19-20. Thanks

Fell in as I was adding Super-Kleer. Probably some dust on the top of the stopper, what should I do?

I put the sorbate, k-meta and sparkaloid on August 9th, and noticed that it wasn't as clear as I wanted it. There was a little residual CO2, so I racked it again on the 17th hoping this would help. Still isn't fully clear. Could someone tell me if it's pectin haze or if I should add the...

Does anyone have a 5 gallon recipe for frozen concentrate? Thanks

I was thinking of making a batch of wine from frozen concentrates, but I can only find apple and orange 100% Juice. Would the other juices (not100%) work as well?

Hi guys! I find myself spending an hour and a half cleaning and sanitizing my equipment, while making a whole lot of mess with water. Do you guys have tips on doing everything alone faster and less messy? Thanks!

I just got a floor corker on Kijiji for 20$! It's quite dusty, was unused for a while. I cleaned all the dirt and dust on the outside, but what kind of cleaning do I need to do to make sur I don't contaminate my wine? I ran a few dry runs with sanitizer on the corks, but how do I clean it...

Hi, I made an Argentia Ridge - Merlot Let's say I know what the kit's OG is supposed to be at 23L, but I accidentally added 2L more of water (25L total) and didn't take the reading....(I know)... Is there a formula to calculate the ABV% knowing my final gravity and not the real OG/SG? Thanks!

Hi All, I started my first batch yesterday, and I have a few questions: 1- I am using a Coopers Primary Fermenter with a Krausen collar instead of an airlock. Would this affect anything? Technically, it should be doing the same job as an airlock. (Picture attached) 2- I accidentally topped...
