I had similar clearing issues with FWK and another brand kit. I used additional kieselsol and chitosan, sometimes two applications of K/S before it cleared. On one of the packages of k/c I read the fine print and it said it will NOT clear wine made with hard water. I was using well water which...

That’s interesting. Guess bentonite is not my solution, thanks for the info. So… back to kieselsol & chitosan, FW wine instructions say to add kieselsol and chitosan but they don’t specify a time between Kieselsol and Chitosan while all the other kits I’ve made had me wait various times between...

I have been using a Portuguese floor corker for several years and I’m into my second 1000 batch of nomacorc corks and never had a bottle leak until recently. I had two leaking bottles, pulled the corks and found the crease in the side of the cork as you mentioned. I activated the lever several...
