I'm at the clarifying stage of my wine and after a day I noticed that the air lock didn't seal right. So air probably when in the carboy, can this mess up my wine or will it be ok?

Started a RJ Spagnols Orchard Breezin Pomegranate wine, and would like it to have a higher alcohol content. Could I just add sugar to it, and it would make more alcohol?

Doing a R.J Spagnols Bergemain 4 week wine kit. Now the wine is in the secondary and is done clarifying, so I'me ready to filter and bottle. Now my brother was telling me to racking it again and leave it an other week for it to age a bit more more. Does this makes sense? Thanks

When using starsan for wine making do you rinse your equipement?

Just wondering if I can use starsan to sanitize my wine equipement? I'm using sulphite right now for wine and starsan for beer, just tired of the sulphite fumes. So will using starsan and not rinsing affect my wine? Thanks

I juste let it soak with my cleaning solution, and after a couple minute i give it a good shake. Rinse and shake with water a couple times, and your good to go! You can use a brush if it is really dirty.

Started a wine kit last friday night, and I guess we were supposed to stir the batch everyday for 5 days. So i didnt do it the first 2 day, and did it today for the first time tonight. Could this affect anything, or should I keep it a couple days more befor transfering..? Thanks

Well I'm new to brewing and were I bought my equipement, the guy is supposed to be really good, and that was the main thing about making beer. I got to say that so far after 5 batch my beer is very good with almost no sediments in the bottle. I think that the apple absorbs the yeast or...

In the primary I put a green apple in it, I cut it in six part and remove the seeds. I have found that it really helps with sediments, I almost don't have any in my bottles.

I use chlorine and Sulfite to sanitize my equipment. Now someone told me that when I wash with sulfite not to rinse it (just let it dry), and when I need the equipment again I can just rinse it and use it. Just wondering if I can realy do that?

After making my beer and closing the lid on the primary, I put the bubbler on the lid and forgot to put the little plastic thing that goes in the bubbler. Now I added sulphite in the bubbler, after I realise that I did not put the other part in the bubbler I removed it. Now there’s probably a...

Hi, I'm new here and have a question. I just transfered my first batch of beer from my primary to my secondary. Now should I put it away from sunlight or is it ok? It is not directly into the sunlight, just normal day light.
