Some comments on the process:
Some comments on the process:
<li style="font-weight: bold;">Lot's of fun!- Transfer to the primary bucket from carboy just before bottling.
- We opted to use the spigot and bottle filler vs. auto-filler
- Remember to use the right cork - I bought high-end corks only to discover that "my" corker kind of botched the top of the corks.
- When we used the corks provided by George -- the problems were solved...
- We took "Hippie's" advice and waited an extra two months beyond
the instruction recommendation before bottling. (a little bulk
aging)
- The sample tastes were better than expected. The wine was VERY clear!
- The bottles will stand up until Wednesday, then they'll laid down and be put away until Christmas / Easter timeframe. </span>
