Thank you for this giveaway! I'm in!

It certainly is young. I will have to draw off a sample. And see There is (to the naked eye) a color stratification at the very top, about 2 inches in the neck of the carboy look perfectly clear and the rest bellow has a brown tint to it... but alas I will drawn off a sample. Thanks! Sent...

Some of you may recall a few weeks ago I dropped a carboy full of wine... at the advice of a few I ended up topping the carboy off with a similar wine to what I am making. Its been just about three weeks and I can't seem to tell what stage I'm at. The wine is certainly clear but the color is...

Yes, fermentation has ended, I added the preservatives, f-pack, and clearing agent nothing else to add now, just wait and bottle and wait.... I followed the instructions that came with the kit, but it says in big bold letter that if I don't degas completely it won't clear. So I was worried. I'll...

Thank you! Any idea on the degassing?? It seems awfully excessive to me... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

Even though it hasn't cleared yet? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

so today I discovered that those plastic handles that are used to carry carboys are JUNK!!!! I was moving my wine (now in the fining and clearing stage) back into the fermentor when the plastic handle failed and I dropped the carboy (fortunately) a plastic better bottle... My issue is now that I...

Thanks for the info... I racked the kit wine in a bucket for secondary, I racked it yesterday so I will be moving it to a carboy as soon as I get home tonight.... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

It very well could be a 750 / 1500 that would certainly make more sense.. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

How many times do you end up going back and forth? To degas? And you also filter and rack your beer with it? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

Also, anyone use buckets rather than carboys for wine? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

Thanks guys, probably going to invest in a degasser... I don't see myself branching outside of kit wine for a while... though you never know... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

Well pretty much exactly what i was looking for! Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

Has anyone used some kind of mechanical stirer that goes on say a drill for degassing? How well do they work? And is it worth it? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

Has anyone had any luck building themselves a wine rack? I have my first batch of wine in its secondary fermentor now, in a few weeks its going to be bottled and ready for storage / aging. And I have nothing to store /age 25+ bottles in. Any ideas? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew...

On the rating sticker, that appliance are required to have, it reads that the heater draws 12.5 amps. And it is a 750 watt heater I get the mathematics of it. I'm just telling you what the specifications are... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

I have a 750 watt space heater that draws 12.5 amps that I would much rather use if my STC-1000 would handle up to 15 Amps... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

Maybe I should look inside mine... the paperwork and stickers say 10 amps. It would be nice to have one rated to 15... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Home Brew mobile app

The system is plugged into a 15 amps circuit, why would I not use 14 GA wire? If you would like to use wire that is smaller than go ahead, I simply do not feel comfortable using wiring that cannot support the total use of the circuit it is plugged into. I also have other outlets and lights...
