K, thanks again

K i moved the wine into a 5 gallon carboy and added the tablets. I am guessing that i have just under a gallon of headspace. Do i fill that with water?

I do have a carboy and i will transfer it over. Am i adding water to top it off? Also what if there is a lot of headspace (i do have a 5 gallon carboy) when i transfer over to the caboy, will alot of added water ruin the wine? Also do know u if i get the campden tablets at a grocery store or...

So i got the wine sitting in a bucket again. I took a reading and it was .994 When i was opening a lot of the bottles (not all though) they seemed pretty gassy, almost like champagne. How long should it sit for?

Okay, thanks for the help

Sorry, i didn't write down the final FG because i didn't think i would need it and at this point i can't really remember it. I can say for sure it was not 1.000 exactly or .990 exactly. This was my first crack at anything and got a lot of old school advice....

Sorry still learning how to read and write info about the hydrometer properly...the FG would have been between .990 and 1.000. I also ment 1 gallon jugs and not 4 gallon jugs.

They were 9's.

Not sure of the excat FG but it was between 90 and 1.000. It sat for at least a month in the pail and then longer in a few 1 gallon jugs. Not sure how gassy it was and i did not sweeten the wine. I had one cork come out about a month ago (when it was still colder) and then i have had 3 in...

Unfortunatley no...i had a red and white pail, didn't degas either but it is only happening to the white....First time i made this so i didn't know about degassing until my second try... So what do i do now?

Hi, I had bought pails of wine and now have them corked and in my wine cellar. Before bottling i checked the wine with my hydrometer and everything was done. Plus it sat there for even longer before bottling. It has been at least a couple of months since bottling. Now for the problem, corks...

Thanks, I currently have the excess in a 1 gallon jug (half full), with an airlock and it is sitting beside the carboy....

Cool, thanks

I just finished step 1, Primary Fermentation. When i was siphoning the wine into the secondary fermentor i noticed that either i put in too much water in the first step or my carboy is not 23 L. Therfore at this point i could not get all the wine from the pail into one carboy. What should i...

Thanks everyone

Hey i am currently brewing my first batch. Since i never thought of making my own home brew before i never really thought about rinsing out my beer bottles after use. Now they have been sitting for a little while and mold has formed at the bottom. I currently have them in a sink full of...
