    Tank modification

    Use a hole saw for bigger diameter holes. The good ones have a pilot drill in the center.

    Blind remote WineMakingTalk tasting

    The long distance, ZOOM tasting we held last year was a highlight in my winemaking career, and I was so glad to participate with the folks I met here. @crushday I envy you. I would love to figure out a way we could have a grand wine tasting between all of us.

    Too much oak

    I generally use 2 spirals in 5 gallons. I take them out after 3 months. I use medium toast in Chardonnay, and medium+ toast in my reds. To my taste buds it mellows a bit after 3 more months of bulk aging. Chuck E.

    bulk purchase of yeast

    @CDrew has shared his Allegro and Avante stash with me. I keep them in the fridge and have no trouble with fermentation. Those 2 varieties are my "GO TO" yeasts fro red & white. I would be willing to take some 313 if it available. Chuck E.

    That's a beautiful color. Much darker than my Chilean Carmenere

    Need some help

    @wineview I use two spirals per 5 gallon carboy in my process. I would recommend that you taste test the wine at one month intervals to see how much oak your palate enjoys. Rack off the oak at that point.

    One thing you could try is a small amount of concentrated grape juice.. This would give you a boost in color and sweetness. See if you can find a can of Syrah.

    Need some help

    I think you'll need to describe the off taste a bit more. Also how is the color & aroma? Once you determine the problem, I've found it best to test the solution in a "bench" test.

    Anyone use a Stainless Steel Primary Fermenter - for 3 or 6 gallon kits?

    I have fermented some of my white wines in a sextel keg (1/6 of a barrel). It works well, easy to clean and move.

    Fermentation Vessel for grape must

    Two buckets will barely fit in my 10 gallon Rubbermaid Brute fermenter. I worry about the cap expanding over the top. Punching down twice a day keeps it pretty stable. I have done the overflow in a two gallon bucket, and I mix everything together when pressing. I add Next Level Oak after...
