One more question in regards to "oaking" or adding things to flavor the wine. I have never done this in the past and I wanted to try it out but I'm wondering on the timing. Is this something that should be done right away with secondary/finishing fermentation or can it be added any time after...

Hello folks, Haven't posted in a while.. Was wondering about something in regards to using Redules. I used this product in the past with spectacular results in eliminating off putting sulpher odors. The question I have is this. The product directions state that you should mix the dissolved...

All, I'm sure many folks have seen this from time to time (except for me)... So this year I got two different kinds of grapes. The majority of my pick was a nice juicy Barbera and a smaller batch of Malbec. In retrospect, I think perhaps I should have not bothered with the Malbec. The grapes...

Hey Folks, So last year I made a batch of Malbec and i ran into some Sulfide problems with it which i cleared up (mostly) w/ Reduless. However I'm sure I tainted the wine flavor itself. Anyhow, when I inquired as to the possible problems that may have caused the Sulfide production which comes...

Hey folks.. A while back I ran into a problem with a bad rotten egg smell that everyone is all too familiar with. People suggested Reduless and I bought some and treated the wine. Perhaps I convinced myself that the treatment worked completely but now a few months later.. I can't help but...

I managed to remove this H2S problem i was having with my wine. After 2 doses of Reduless I believe the smell is gone now and I've done a final racking and closed the bottles back up for another month or so. I wanted to post this to ask what, if anything special, should be the next steps after...

I racked my wine yesterday (2 x 3 Gallon) and found this bizarre looking formation at the bottom of the each one. I don't even know what to call it so searching for answers is difficult :) Anyhow I recently treated the wine for sulfide smell problem with Reduless. This was definitely NOT in...
