  1. Thank you for the warm Chistmas wishes and the great resource you are to vintners far and wide. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.

  2. I am concerned about oxidation when I rack my wine. How do you remove the air from the secondary fermeter?

    • What most people do is put the wine into a secondary vessel that matches the size of the batch you are making. If you are making 6 gallons, but the wine in a 6 gallon carboy, as an example. You are eliminating the air by eliminating the head-space. Treating the wine with SO2 such as potassium bisulfite will help to drive out any oxygen that may have saturated into the wine during racking and such. It can also drive air out of small head-spaces to some extent. Here some more information on this…

  3. I’d like to add Welche’swhite grape juice containing water,concentrate white grape juice, ascorbic acid, potassium metabisulphite to a 7.5 L wine kit do I have to neutralize the additives to have the kit to work properly without stalling fermentation?

    • You can do this, but it will raise the titratable acidity of the wine by 16 – 17%. This mean instead of have a wine with, say, .68% TA, you will have a wine with a TA of about .79%. On the tart side for most folks. You can use Acid Reducing Crystal to bring the level back down. 1 teaspoon per gallon will reduce the acidity by .18% TA.
