Thanks all, I think what I will try is to use a an inline filter screen with gravity (I have these for beer homebrew when closed transfer via co2) on any reds which may have the odd bit of fine oak or the likes coming through into a carboy then just either bottle from there using a siphon or...

The manufacturer of the pump filter I use suggests so, saying that the wine is in an agitated state and should settle a couple of days. The wine kit also suggests to rack, wait 2 days and then bottle. I just prefer to use a bucket with a want rather than a siphon, first world problems I guess...

Hi - After a few years I am back to making wine from kits. During the process I will rack a few times and then filter prior to bottling. Whilst I will bulk in a carboy under vaccum, is there consensus that on the final rack prior to bottling if its ok to let the wine rest for 2 days post...

Hi, I am newbie to the wine making scene having been home brewing beer all grain for the past 3.5 years now which I thoroughly enjoy. I live near Glasgow in Scotland, United Kingdom. I have a white wine kit I have just racked to clear with a view to bulk aging and currently fermenting a...
