    2 yr old pulled airlock out of stopper -ruined?

    My 2 year old son pulled the plastic airlock out of the rubber stopper on my carboy. It was bulk aging for about 2 mos. The airlock was off for 2 days. Is it ruined? I am going to go ahead and sulfite and bottle it tomorrow, and am hoping it makes it. Any thoughts? Thanks guys Jack

    Mosti Mondiale Is 7 days in primary too long? - MM All Juice Zin

    Hi, my all juice kit is a little slow to start, so I will prob need to leave it in the primary a couple extra days (leaving town for overnighter on day 5). Is this ok? I assume yes, since it's not a really long extended time period, but wanted to ck with some pros. Thanks! Jack

    I have a Pinot Grigio kit that I racked and degassed. Instructions state when bulk aging do not add siligel and liquigel, so I have not. It had started to clear pretty nicely, butI think I messed it up. I was using the drill whip degasser, but have since built a hand vacuum pump, so I used it -...
