we have a local wine enthusiast group and I asked this question because I also ferment sugar washes and beers in the same room that I store my wine, so a lot of people were against this idea but as you can imagine there is always this type of discussions in this type of groups, but what I am...

It is said that airlocks can only hold the gas but cannot hold against smell so if you have a wine aging in a big tank like 14 gallon it can leach smell they say but I am a littlle bit confused on this subject what do you guys think ?

I kept the wine in maceration with the skins for 9 days and also punch down 3 times a day, that really helped. How long did you kept your pinot in maceration ?

I think I have found it :)

You are right these tanks are very useful in managing oxygen, I wish there was variable capacity tanks at smaller volumes, but the smallest that I saw was 50 liters https://www.grapeandgranary.com/tank-50-liter-variable-capacity.html If there was a smaller variable capacity lid we would not...

Thanks a lot but as I said I divide the tank into 3 buckets each 23 liter I can manage but even the 23 liter becomes harder as you work with a lot of things and become tired. I now think that winemaking also helps losing weight :) at least in my case

Hello everyone, Yesterday, exactly 15 days after pressing, I completed my 1st racking. Unfortunately, I experienced some setbacks. Don't try to shake the hydrometer you cleaned from the thin side in order to dry it. Normally, I do the opposite, but this time, for some reason, that happened and...

Thanks for the tip.

Thank you very much

Thanks alot, So roughly for a Skeeter Pee and DB I will have a 30 liter bucket primary fermentor, a 19 liter carboy and lets assume that I am going to make more just to be on the safe side do I need to compensate the rest with wine bottles or do I also need 5 liter and some vessel which are...

Thank you very much this is really helpful, I am planning to do the same as DB requires, Raspberry,Blueberry and blackberry, so whatever I do I will use the fruit and add 22 l water as you say it is better to have more then less.how do you seal wine bottles that are used as a vessel ?

I understand but after doing many times you probably know which vessels between rackings, I am mainly asking for DB and Skeeter Pee if you opt for 19 liter carboy what would be the starting liter 23 liter in the primary does this give 19 liters lets say after 2-3 rankings ?

Thanks a lot I am trying to work out how many vessels do I need to do it properly I have a 30 liter primary and a 19 liter carboy do I need small vessels also ?

Hi Everyone, Up until now, I have been using my 100 liter (26.5) Gallon tank for wine making it has a variable capacity lid which makes it super easy to manage the volume between rankings, I am about to start into country wine, I would like to make a Skeeter Pee and DB but there is one thing...

Turkey

To be precise 66 :) an all day squeeze job :)

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to use real squeezed lemon juice to make skeeter pee, because I cannot find it where I live

Hello everyone, I had the intention of making Merlot this year, as a result of my research, the closest place I could find to Istanbul - Turkey was the vineyard belonging to Mr. Alaettin Sevil in Tekirdağ Şarköy Güzelköy. I contacted him in advance and conveyed my request for 105 kg of Merlot...
