I will look at Wegmans and if they don't have it I will check Bed Bath and Beyond. I'm glad I only have 25 or so bottles to work on.

Thanks for the advice. How will long term storage in the fridge affect the aging process? That pump might do the trick. Ever see it in any retail stores where I might pick it up?

That is probably where I messed up. I did degass after I racked the first time but not again after that. So if that is what I need to do to fix this do I need to dump it out and pour it back into a bottling bucket, degass, and then rebottle?

Long term I can't keep them in the fridge so should I pop the corks and drop some campden in?

So will refrigerating them kill the yeast or just slow it down? At some point can I take them out or do they need to stay in there now?

Yes I think I can manage that. I inherited a kegerator Saturday from a friend who's moving to California. How long do I need to refrigerate them?

Do I just recork them?

It wouldn't be the first time I cleaned wine off the ceiling... I put all the bottles in a plastic storage bin so they can blow in peace.

I bottled some wine last night that I made from jelly. Today about half of the corks are half way out. It looks like they are slowly working there way out. What should I do?

Changed my mind about the blush. Tried a bottle of it last night and it taste like medicine. Still gonna try the jam wine though.

I am making a couple of wine recipes this weekend. Both recipes call for lalvin 71b-122 but my local home brew shop only had lalvin k1-V1116 so thats what i bought. Both recipes also call for yeast nutrient but my lhbs only had yeast energizer so thats what I got. I will attach the recipes. Do...

I needed my pail so I racked to a carboy and my apfelwein no longer smells like ass. We should start a new thread. How many people have gotten laid due to Ed Worts panty solvent.

How long can you leave it in the secondary? Is this any different?

Yeah it was 100% apple juice but it had ascorbic acid added but I'm pretty sure I read in this thread that was okay.

I made my first batch about 4 weeks ago. Followed Ed's recipe except used Great Value Apple Juice from Walmart. It got the strong sulfur smell that I had read so much about but it never really lost it. When I press down on the lid and get a whiff out of the airlock it is still stinky. Anyone...
