Bottled my Apple Cranberry wine today. Total was 10 gals and 5 gals was oaked with 1/2 oz of Heavy Toast French oak cubes. The taste is good now and can't wait until it has time to age out some. Based on the taste now I should have oaked all of it but it will be good to compare the two later on.
Even though it looked really clear I chose to filter just to be sure. I have a Vinbrite gravity filter and use my V-Vessel to help with the filtration.
The bottom of the V-Vessel has a 1/2 inch hose so I had to reduce it down to the 3/8 hose inlet to the filter. I only have one inlet to the filter and no vent like the one in Martina's pictorial.
Filtered all 10 gals through 1 pad and paperand didn't notice any change in the wine so most likely didn't need it.
Really need some skills with lighting to take a good picture but this is the best I could do for now!
Can you tell which one is oaked?
Took this shot inside the fridge with a white piece of paper behind the glass....what a photo hacker!
